Barbarians Life in Modern World

Here I would try to explain how life seems for modern barbarians from my perspective. Life for a modern barbarian is like a tread mill. All barbarians alike follow the same concept of cycle.

For a quarter of a century, modern barbarians worked their ass off in chase of power, wealth and fame (PWF). For another quarter, they struggle in amidst perpetual anxieties for accumulating even more wealth. And finally, the last quarter they live in apprehension as they progress to old age, sickness and eventual death without knowing exactly why they have live for.

Many barbarians are so preoccupied with their activities in earning PWF that they actually have no time for something called ‘life’. Besides that, most of them are so preoccupied with their external appearances that they neglect their internal health and development. They cultivated an alter ego, 2 faced morons and very bad patient skill. Blinded with these senses, they view evil as good and true as false. Armed with these senses, the modern barbarians will fight with pens, words and fists for each and every power, wealth and fame they can get; thinking they will be at a better position and successful if they achieve it.

One of the greatest problem facing the modern barbarian is way too much action; action here, action there, action every where in the life of modern barbarians from cradle to the grave (got inspired by Jet Li). How peculiar it may seem, have anyone of us actually spend 5 minutes of total silence and do nothing but relax, how about 1 minute? I can boldly say, none of us actually spend 5 minutes to relax in total silence.

With all those supersonic jets, better performing engines, broadband internet and yet we demand things to be faster. On land, barbarians found the way to travel faster than the speed of sound. In air, barbarians found the way to travel great distances within hours. On water, barbarians found ways to skim across seas at neck breaking speed. With all these means of fast traveling, modern barbarians still researching on going even faster, doing things in shorter time period, even extending it to cooking. One wise barbarian once told me, the Japanese do not even have time to cook their fish. But then, I love sashimi, who does not like sashimi anyway.

Another tread mill example;
As modern barbarian goes on with life as fast as he try to gain PWF, he snatches a quick meal and sped of to the daily rat race. By night he leaps into bed, toss and turn most of the time thinking what to do the next day and finally drop to sleep just when the alarm rings. And once again the modern barbarian repeats the cycle.

For enjoyment modern barbarians invented many things for both pleasure and satisfaction. Thanks to them we have television, cinema, newspapers, magazines, porno, computer and many more which comes in different shape and sizes; some the smaller the better and some the bigger the better while some the more the merrier. Besides that, modern barbarian invented dance parties, colorful alcohols, ONS and many more have became drugs that create further ‘pleasure’ and restlessness.

And that my friends, the life of modern barbarian.
