the devil in the details

priorities can be a confusing set of values. they are completely relative, and not in the post-modern way that art has become relative. i suppose i mean they are completely personal, and completely valid in that personal sense, but at the same time i find it fascinating how different individuals can have utterly opposing sets of priorities. 

ambition is a powerful thing. i feel so often that our generation has misguided ambition, where we are a whole group of humans who stand only for the fact that we stand for nothing at all. 

people have coined phrases like twixters to describe our laze-in-our-parents-home ways, and frankly, it's starting to bother me that such general malaise can be so pervasive and yet so generally accepted. 

it doesn't have to be this way, y'know? on top of the generation that is coddled and losing valuable years of adulthood to glorified adolescence, i feel that we are also a bunch of people with the resources to make an actual difference -- if we would just make it a priority. 

how do you make people care?

how do you change people's priorities?
