Talk to me, friend

Maybe it's time for some news. Talk to me, friend. I long for your ponderate words about being afraid of trying, about our great need of resistance, about the beauty in the unexpected things and sites of life.
Off the beaten track you go! It's very long since I made a serious effort to see beyond my own fence, beyond this sort of border of welfare. There's no regrets, dear fellow.
Here inside is like a John Lennon's song that flows smoothly into minds and hearts. So I can talk about that and other stuff with no trouble of finding myself lost.
Do I want to be rich? Well, I do want not to fear for material things. It's not that I long for consuming expensive clothes, houses or cars. I do not want to travel the whole world. I will be very glad to stay where I am, if I can. Here is the place where I chose to be, so it's the best for me.
I work not just for paying bills, that would be a poor excuse for so much sacrifice. I work for a dream I had long ago and now it looks quite old, though.
Many people in my family went for a military career, mostly in the navy. I craved for a position in the navy, as an officer, of course. My father didn't agree with me. He always tried to protect me from a life far from our kind. Sometimes I think he may suffer more than anybody for the choices I made. Well, I meant no harm. He knows I am a quite decent and respectable fellow, so I don't feel very bad about it.
I long for a day when all the blood and sweat will make sense. I'm not talking just about myself ( I do think my life carries purpose, though it is a little changeable!).
Think about all the sort of crazy things people do. The vandals who dirturb other people's sleep screaming in the streets, or poluting the walls with graffiti, or destroying themselves with alcohol and drugs, poisoning their own minds with depressing thoughts of State opression and the imperialism of the corporations... what a bunch of lies and excuses for running from some serious work!
Think about families nowadays. Future parents my have a sexual life, but they are not married... ok, don't do that just because others expect you to do so, but do it to show your commitment with your partner. They raise children as if TV and computer games care about something else then profit and buy whatever is necessary not to give true love through a proper and not always easy education which requires meaningful talks, time and setting the best example.
Think about the government, composed by these sad clowns who pretend to care about people's interests, but do anything it takes to win elections, including favouring party members with "special gifts" and lying to everybody most of the time.
It is not a hopeless world, though. Here and there good people work seriously for the beauty in the little things and places.
Talk to me, friend. Show you care. Spend longer with your beloved ones. Do the right thing.
