Cultural clashing

Spending more and more time here, the cultural clashes have just become more and more evident. Maybe just because this place is like a big city etc, you kinda feel like people are so impersonal and superficial. That it's really difficult to get to know people. Just people are a lot more closed up and conserved I guess. It's not like in SA or like Western societies that if you are to be friends with people you will find out whether you click immediately. It's like putting the geyser on like flipping lukewarm and turning up a degree of two every month or so. It's the same with relationships here. Like people take long to get to know each other... in fact it takes so long sometimes I don't even know how people end up gettin married

Dictatorship

Even in the world of today there is dictatorship everywhere.
So much of it is so subtle that you can barely feel or see it.
It's in the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the books you read and the movies you watch.
And it sinks in... right into the core of you and shaping who you really are. Culturally exemplified beauty or advertised beauty? Your perception, feelings, values... are they really what you really want them to be or are they just part of the manufactured goods of the current society. One step closer to superficial perfection.

Natural skies and fake birds. 
50% natural and 50% superficial.
Real and hypocritical.
This is the composition of this paradoxical society and human nature, and this truth we will deny.
