being 'different' to everyone else.

I am similar but also very different.

I think real relationships are hard to come by these days. It seems everyone is climbing, positioning, or acting out. Maybe the "Facebook Generation" has led to this.

I don't like "going through the motions" with people, I like authentic friendships and relationships. Unfortunately, that has caused me to stand back and dismiss a lot of people I run into.

So, yeah, in a way, I can relate.

Great response, sssss!

I often think that the others around us whom seem so easily entertained by BS, by behaving stupidly, etc., etc. are simply young souls whom have yet to get a clue about the meaning of our existence on Earth at this time.

In fairness to all, perhaps their purpose is simply to experience physical life for the first time, whereas those of us whom are more enlightened are probing for truth and higher knowledge.

Bouncing a basketball or listening to (c)rap doesn't amuse us or entertain us.

I have always refused to dance, though I can appreciate the art form in classical dances that were based on geometrical steps. The gyrations that people go through now, going back as far as "the twist", just seem so silly and illogical to me that I could never force myself to get on a dance floor only to throw my head, arms and legs around.

Searching for truth and gaining knowledge is what motivates me, as I want to understand better who we are, why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing. Young souls want the latest gadget and to know where the next party is.

It follows, then, that I am a loner with no friends and can't be bothered by idle chitchat with others. I don't have TV, keep my phone unplugged and don't answer the door for anyone, including neighbors. I'm lucky that any relatives are at least five hours away.

I just can't deal any more with this fake World and wish that "something" would transform our lives in a major way.
