Ponderings of my mind

Chefs come into my mind as I type this. The journey the go through usually ends in tragedy. They hold their hopes high as they apply for a job at the local fast food branch. As they take their orders, the people shout 'NACHOS NOW!' or 'MAKE ME A SAMMICH!' in a very unsophisticated manner, and they just shake their head in disgust, and say, 'This is no use for the skills I can provide'. What can they do? Either do as their told, wasting their talent, doing the same thing a 15-year old spotty teen working at McDonalds can do or lose their job. But nothing can save these people. The all suffer the same fate.

McDonalds is a problem for these skilled chefs. They employ teenagers, incapable of doing difficult tasks, and willing to do a dirty job, for very little pay. Most of us now don't even eat 'Real' cooking. McDonalds proudly hold up the reputation for serving 100 billion customers. Cooking is no longer a luxury, it's now just a company.

In the 15th century, we didn't have any of these fast food companies, that have sprug up in the recent years. Most of us would of been a knight or a farmer. We still managed to eat. We now don't learn life skills, partly because we don't need to, and partly because we spend most of our early life in school. How has this changed us? Well we live longer for a start, and our lifestyle is more sophisticated.

Well, living longer is a great thing, but at what cost? We spend most of our life working or studying, which, unless you love doing so, we don't enjoy. We buy happiness in the form of material possessions, but at the cost of working for the money to buy it. Is a pair of jeans really worth the unhappiness we get from working for a week? We don't seem to have a real purpose, life is now a chore, whether you realize it or not.

Why don't we just destroy the whole 'Society' and go back to being a little more natural? No more possessions to buy, no more work to make ourselves unhappy. We would spend our time being much more happy overall.
