20. "what America is all about. The pursuit of happiness."
it's sad that our society is so focused on constant growth and monetary gain that many young people are just success machines. To me people like this are sociopathic. The only thing that makes many of us happy is winning.

People are heartless, I see it every day, things like the video I can't forget of the young girl throwing a bag of kittens down a river, humans are constantly constantly doing these things to the beautiful world, the innocent animals. And I will see us get even worse and worse, I'm just glad my years are half over.
