Why so serious?

I wrote this lil tidbit in my "controversial journal" a couple days ago. [the journal is filled with some pretty amazing things :P] Anyway, I stole stickers from my little sister and stuck one on each page and I decided to reflect on what the sticker said. Nothing really deep, just whatever came to mind. I'll just share two or three stickers.

1) 'EH!'
- Being canadian is pretty funny. We are seen as somewhat submissive, intelligent, kind and comely creatures. We symbolize unity that isn't made from common interest but from the fact that we could care less and that we have those "rights and freedoms", so its all good. It's entertaining, we know nothing of our government, of how our country is led; we could care less. As long as we know our lives won't change drastically, we'll agree with whatever happens in parliament and around us. It is pretty cool to be canadian, we have what other people dream of having, but it is definitely not cool to be an idiot, to sit and eat pancakes for your whole life while the moose cross the road. I mean really, the beavers build dams faster than we think.

2) 'Road Trip'
Driving to far destinations basically means that you are taking the slow road. Taking it slow is a GREAT idea in many cases because life in general is becoming wayyyy too fast paced. How fast can I make money? How fast can we make computers? How fast can we eat this hot dog?...It's stupid and pointless, because what should take 10 years usually isn't right when its done in 5. If you always try to be ahead of everything and everyone, it'll only tire you. Normal has thn only changed for you and nobody else. So you are in a different league not because of your success but because the way you ran/run your life has sped you beyond the necessary point. Slowing down once in a while doesn't hurt, so if one day you do happen to experience "a slow day" there shouldn't be reason to worry.

3) 'Voyages'
I think cultures nowadays are easily misunderstood, and many people have become ignorant. It's tasteless really, not knowing and thn forming an opinion. Anyway, people need to experience change before they take a stand on an issue. It's like the whole "cutting your hand if you steal" law in Saudi Arabia. People think its vulgar, but hey! nobody steals there. And here if you steal you're either fined, community service maybe?, or just given a warning. And that's only if you get caught. Otherwise the general public is told "just don't do it, it's against the law." See with people, I find that if its against 'morals' its ok to break those morals. Since you can just i.e 'not steal' next time. But if, you know, you were going to lose a hand, you can't regrow a hand now can you? I'd like to say that the world should trust humans & their morals but we're generally selfish, shallow creatures. We have a tendency to "not care."
