Think about it people!

   My car had recently broken down and my laptop had come down with a virus and I had to get them both fixed. On my way home, something dawned on me. We have no idea how complicated the things we take for granted are. Think about it people! We have cell phones that are smaller than our hands and they can carry hours of music, videos, take pictures and call people anywhere on the planet...yet we're picky about whether it folds or not. Coffee comes in more flavors than I can count, with a smorgasbord of additives, and it comes from another country with people making careers out of picking and growing these beans correctly so they can be roasted properly yet we can't drink any other brand than the one kind we like. (How many different coffee bean fields are there in Columbia anyways?) Lastly, we have cars that require pinpoint precision, every piece working in perfect harmony yet we won't buy one that isn't a certain color or it doesn't have a spoiler. We are severely spoiled people...
   This is the last part of this and I need you to really understand this point and take it to heart. The only reason that I'm writing this is because I have no radio in my car and I was forced to sit and think instead of enjoy some music.
