This New Society We're In

I think we are far more expressive than ever

and when I say "we" I mean the human race. 

When, before in history, have you seen people 

so responsive, emotive, liking things, loving things, 

laughing uncontrollably or even shedding a tear?

In the verbal world, some barely speak, let alone 

offer a good suggestive nod. The silence about 

ordinary things, once very normal. No one shared, 

no one listened. Now the buffet is jammed packed 

and you, me, everyone, keeps going back for more. 

We've become insatiable in our look into others' lives. 

Once, news got around by telling one person and 

then they would tell another person, and so on. 

Look how modern expediency has shared vacation 

photos, recaps of date night, and school achievements 

of our best and brightest in one click. When have you 

ever received so many birthday wishes? We know 
each other better today than ever before in human history.
