A time for change

Lack of communication is rapidly increasing the distance between people. This isn't just a matter of socially akward individuals who cannot fit into social relationships. It's about forgetting you are surrounded by people no different from you just because your mind is too focused on other things. Your work, your daily worries, your specific role in society. Wheter you are a medic, a soldier, an outlaw, a priest, a student or a blogger there's one thing you have in common with just everyone else (me too!): we were all born human. As technology progresses and the world requires more and more specialization, we shouldn't let our role in society take over our very own human nature. Which once used to bring people much closer to each other and share a lot more. Can you remember the last time you talked about trivial things to your neighbour? or to your greengrocer? or to your mailman? If the answer is no (if this is the case don't worry, it's pretty much no for me as well) then you probably know what I'm talking about.

Internet is a new, undiscovered dimension. With a lot of potential, I might add. After giving it some thought, I believe this is the right place to start from scratch and begin talking to each other again. It also helps that much of our differences are left in the outside world, along with the physical distance that separates people. So folks, let's start talking again to each other, shall we? The topic doesn't really matter: pretty much everyone will have something to say about pretty much everything. This blog will therefore have no real purpose and no real topic other than talking. I'll simply update it with whatever goes by my mind at the moment (hence the title chop suey). Have fun!
