<p>There is no final revolution. If you do a 180 and get rid of things that have always existed, they will just 180 back, or turn into something else, because there’s no perfect world, financially or entirely.</p>
<p>I’ve become more apathetic lately, and it really doesn’t bother me. Before, I used to get real “into” things. I would care about the game I was playing or the test I was taking or whatever. But now, it doesn’t matter as much. If we lose the soccer game, who cares? If I fail the math test, who cares? Life will go on. It’s even the same with relationships. If my girlfriend breaks up with me, who cares? I’m only 17, there will be more girls.</p>
<p>On the other hand, sometimes I do stop and wonder how things work. But then I realize it doesn’t matter how they work, as long as they do work. Does it matter how the engine on my truck works? Not really, just so long as it gets me from Point A to Point B. I feel the same way about education; it’s just a means to an end.</p>

<p>other people are capable of thinking too. It’s easy to get trapped in your own bubble of thought, thinking that nobody else has the same thoughts, since strangers do not discuss hobbies and such with you. It’s easy to think that everyone else is a “slave to society” or an “automaton,” but I personally don’t think that people are generally so dull.</p>
<p>Money is important- it serves as motivation for advancement in tech, for example. The processor in your computer is a result of the seeking of money. Capitalism fuels innovation in a way that a socialistic society does not. Now of course, whether this innovation is really “better” for people is subjective, but I think that most people would believe that it is.</p>
<p>That’s not entirerly true, things were advancing long before money came around, otherwise money would have never came around, as that is a clever thought in itself, isn’t it?</p>
<p>This may true of some people, but as people age, many are still curious and caring. It’s just that they’ve focused their curiosity on something rather than everything.</p>
<p>Anyway… I have become apathetic to a lot of things, but after reading sophies world I realized that “I was crawling down the hair of the rabbit.” Plus honestly, looking around you the world is pretty neat. I really want to learn more than I have already. I want to learn everything.</p>
