It's hard to live a simple life in the middle of all this crap. Just try to be silent for like a few minutes and you'll see what I mean. Unless you're in the middle of nowhere, there's always something around making noise. And here in these United States, we have instant access to almost everything in the world. I mean, if I want to watch a killer whale jumping on a guy, I can. That's cool, but it also means that things start to lose their novelty pretty quick. If I can have anything I want, it all becomes fairly meaningless and I start looking for something that does hold some value.
Before I start sounding any more like Ecclesiastes, I want to say that there is some stuff worth living for. You just have to dig out from all the other stuff to find it. No, getting stuff and more stuff is not the meaning of life. The goal is to have some life-changing experiences with God and people. For that, you have to be quiet, get everything else quiet, and listen.

Heed! Move! Now!
"Look at the size of that boy's heed! It's like an orange on a toothpick! That's a huge noggin! It's a virtual planetoid! It has it's own weather system. I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik - spherical but quite pointy at parts! Now that was offside, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight...on his huge pillow."
Hauling around a gargantuan cranium has its downsides (like when you have to fetch things like "the paper"), but it also has its advantages, one of which is ample processing space.
