Changes to Our Society

What would you change about modern society?

I live in America. The home of the free and the brave. A country where most people want for nothing.

Saying all that, I find our citizens resentful, unhappy, angry, entitled and rude. Why because I don’t think they realize what a good gig they have in the US.

So I’d send every child who reaches the age of 13 to a third world country for six months without a cell phone. Hopefully, this would serve as an appreciation for what they have at home.

Speaking of cell phones. How did we survive without them. People are glued to them. The next generation is going to be born with heads that only look down. I joke but it will be a problem for our young if they spend countless hours a day looking down at their phones.

Phones are no longer something to use when needed. They are used to the point of addictive behavior.

I don’t think all the modern conveniences have helped our society. I think they have taken away family time, and friend time. And now people don’t even go to work.

I’m on a rant so I think I will stop here!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
