"In a society that has abolished all adventure, the only adventure left is to abolish that society." - Unknown
It feels like the world has no reality anymore. There isn't any place left undiscovered on the surface that one with no money can travel. You need money to have an adventure, and then, what sort of adventure is that? You shouldn't have to pay for an imagination. It's a right that everyone is born with, unalienable as Thomas Jefferson coined from John Locke.
In MDC's Teens nowadays stay at home, sitting on their computers, playing videogames and setting up profiles to sit for hours talking to other teens across the country sitting at home just as they are. They sit there wishing they could meet who they were talking to, a city, a state, a continent away. If only the world held applicable adventure for them.
In MDC's people sit in front of their televisions and watch things happening in other places of the world, seeing wondrous sights, and wishing they could be there. They watch imaginary wonders unfold, and quirky drama's that they can't imagine having themselves. They wish they had the money for such an exploit, so they save. Once they have it though, they go for a few days, run out of money, and return. It's 'normal', but if looked at with a third party view from society, just how 'normal' does it really seem?
In LDC's and MDC's alike, people live to work. Day after day they go in, work a meaningless job, and come home, to sleep, eat, and get ready for work. People marvel at how the teenage population can be so corrupted and broken nowadays. Parents blame it on exposure to other teens. Teens blame it on themselves or their parents. It isn't corrupted though.
It's just in depression, repression, and revolt. People don't understand that a society with actually depressed teens, leads to a society with depressed college students, and then depressed middle class, which is the make-up of countries. They generally aren't diagnosed, treated, or noted. No one notices and no one seems to care. The root problem isn't the state the teens are in though, but what causes it.
The world needs adventure. Parents wonder why their quiet children sit at home and read books all day rather than go outside and play, and you see, it's because there is adventure in books. Temporary, but true adventure.
People wonder why in team sports nowadays there is so much aggression, so many rules needed to protect their players. It's because it isn't just a game, it is their adventure. It keeps them going. Constant new encounters and events must take place for such to successfully occupy them.
The world is so small, and we made it so. All that is left is to pick up the pieces of the dice we cast and work until we die.
