ehhh, you sure?

It seems to me that I live in a very different time period.  I love that my generation is the one that was born into the world of the Internet. We live in a time where information from all of around the world is shared and free. We live in a world where, for the most part, if you have something to say, someone will hear it. This is whether that person is the one person that follows your blog on the other side of the world, or that kid in English class you don’t really know but likes all of your Facebook status’. But it is also a little disheartening to know that I cant trust everything that I see out there. I realize that many people cheat steal and especially lie, so trust, especially growing up in New York, something that wasn’t innate to me. Trust was that distant cousin you wouldn’t see to often. The same cousin who if you weren’t really comfortable with you could leave alone and stay away from, because you only saw him when you had to. But having this discontent for the trust issues of the world today I feel as though I really appreciate the truth. The truth is not something to be expected anymore, it is something to look out for and be very cautious of. I realize it is easier to gain and lose respect now, just as it is easier to gain and lose credibility. The world is much more fast pace, you really have to pay attention to what’s going on around you, so when you do come across someone who is telling the truth in this giant pool of lies, they are game changers. Most people don’t know how to deal with them or even know how to react.
