These days it seems, in our fast-paced and high prestige society, no one really cares about who you are. All you ever get asked is: Where do you work? What do you do? Who do you know? Which fancy-shmancy club can you get VIP treatment?
We're living in such shallow times that no one even thinks they might try to have time to actually sit down, take a breath and reflect on who you are, where you've been as a person in terms of psychology and character and wonder how your personality will still grow.
Yet again, it would be funny if at your next cocktail party you meet a hot brunette and she introduces herself, and instead of you asking what she does for a living, you say "how did you grow-up as a child?".
I guess conversations such as these are saved for friends and family. But it also doesn't mean you should make your next encounter with a stranger look like an job interview. I just think that worrying about what kind of person you are, being nice and all that cheesy stuff is more important and valuable than stressing about which university to apply to or which job has more benefits.
We're a generation of lazy McDonalds-eating kids who don't know ourselves, we have to define our characters by which blog we choose to use, which phones to carry, which night-club speaks to me more... F*** dat!
Every time I think about this topic I remember who our dad's "way-back-when" they had one wallet that would last them 20 years, one watch they would hand down to the next generation... Now when I'm married and my son is off to college... What am I gonna hand down to him?
