Some Thoughts For the Road

Uniqueness and Belonging are two things that everybody wants. Some sort of mix between the two. A sense of place, and personality. We don't want to be similar to anyone, so that we can live our own lives, but we fear loneliness and isolation. We need to feel connected to someone or something. It's odd how juxtaposition seems to be a large part of life. How much do we get set on one idea or belief, and fail to understand there is more to it then what we may know. Sometimes, when things are set in stone, we just want to keep it that way. Why challenge something that works. I've always wondered this about the society we live in. Society takes the blame for what seems like everything: obesity, mental illness, war, scandal, extortion, drugs addiction, rioting, whatever. But, what is society? Is it not all of us? I thought society was supposedly everyone. It's almost like the word society was implemented to put the blame on people, but those people. With the so called, "those" people not actually existing. These things are left instead to be our faults, as a community, as the society we are. As a society, we need to take responsibility, not get caught in individuality and blaming others or just not caring about them. It's my fault, your fault, all our faults. I haven't done anything to stop these problems, but then again the problem hasn't yet be completely identified. That's what Cohen Country is about, thinking. Maybe it doesn't all make sense, but hopefully it gets you to think about something or somethings you wouldn't have thought about before. Screw the Free World
