Coolness or Dumbness

in voilk •  3 months ago

    Nowadays people want attention, too much attention towards them. Whether it's social media, friends gathering, or anywhere, most people want to have attention. They want to keep pace with things that are hot, popular, and trending. Do you have any attraction to these things? To be honest, I just hate these and I don't have any wish to gain mass attention.

    These days, something very common among the youth is smoking. People are smoking as a fashion, some find it very cool to smoke. They act like a chain smoker as if the cigarette is their air to breathe. It is not but they act like this. Have you seen Peaky Blinders? Seen how Thomas Shelby smokes one after another through each and every scene? They act like him. Come on, what's the benefit you're getting?

    There are some who are really addicted to this and other things as well. No way I am gonna defend or support their smoking habits. All I am saying is that they are out of control, with no way back, but you still can make the u-turn from your unnecessary coolness. I just hate this, completely hate this instinct in today's teenagers and the adults of my age. From this coolness, they try to level up the game, and slowly but steadily their coolness turns into a deadly addiction with no way back. By the time they do realize, the damage is done, no benefits of regretting after that.

    I do have friends, but few are like that, addicted to this coolness thing. They would say, “I don't smoke normally, just when I am around you guys(smoker friends)” This “around” thing, makes him smoke more than an average chain smoker because he spends most of the day with friends, lol. No normal time is left to not smoke. I am not into this. Another friend was saying that the other boys at him, take him for granted, and judge him like a foolish guy just because he is a non-smoker. But in reality, he is like the big brother of devils, just not with these smoke and drugs kinda things.

    Well, I just wanna say, don't be a fool, some things are not meant to be cool, but rather a way to downwards. Now if we think of our downfall as something to celebrate then what can I say? Best of luck, call me when you are stuck down there, don't tell me that I haven’t warned you before, this is exactly what I said to them, who cares?
