Too Large a Percent

Location

Just think about today.

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery…or so they say.

How about enjoy the day, remember the past, and plan for the future?

Is that too much to ask?

Where did my generations’ hedonism well up from?

We only want what’s convenient, easy, and results that are speedy

Anything else is dumb.

We only think about ourselves, but we can’t do anything alone.

Flooded with options and lacking decision making, many cannot make it on their own.

Discipline is a lost concept, but for now many seem content.

I can’t pretend to be talking about everyone, my friend,

But I think we can agree this applies to too large a percent.
