Today's Technology Good or Bad?

I feel today’s technology has its pro’s and con’s. I feel this way because the good technology offers us is in so many ways are it makes a lot of things in our lives easier paying bills, staying in touch with family and friends, looking for employment, shopping- it’s like we almost don’t have to leave our home’s but on the other hand that could be on the bad side of things. You can find anything virtually possible from medical advice, how top’s, recipes, activities, and the list goes on and on. Now for the cons of technology, child predators are able to victimize children easier, identity theft, causing accident’s and even deaths. Pornography is another big thing that seems to pollute the internet and it can cause people to neglect their families, children, and their jobs. Today’s technology can be addicting to some people to the point they forget who and what is around them. So much time can pass in one’s life and once they realize it it’s too late. People get caught up in the fantasy world and lose touch with reality. It’s sad to see someone spend every night after work sit in front of a computer and ignore everything around them, that’s coming from experience. But everyone is their own and is entitled to live life how they want.

Will Enough Ever Be Enough?

Will enough ever be enough for me and will I ever be truly be happy? This blog is about me and something I’m trying to understand. I think a lot and my mind is always going, it never stops. I feel nothing is ever enough for me. It’s this urge inside me that wants more and more and it’s never satisfied. It could be with money and with my relationship. I always have to have and I always want and it drives me crazy because I don’t want to be like this. I see I’ve passed this type of behavior on to my daughter and now she’s just like me. I’m not very proud of it. My daughter is five and her attitude is ugly. She’s constantly wanting and when she doesn’t get her way I pay for it but I made her that way and I’m trying to change her ways and it’s so hard and frustrating. I know people who are content with the necessity’s and their happy, that true happiness. The happiness I want. I find my happiness in material things, I have to have the best and everything name brand. I think it stems from my childhood. Growing up I never had nice things. I always had second hand clothes but when I hit my teenage years and had started working that’s when it all started. My boyfriend and I just went ring shopping at Kay’s and he bought me a five hundred dollar ring when my limit was three hundred. I know he gave into me just so he didn’t have to hear me complain. I need some advice what can I do to try and change this behavior of mine? All I want is to be happy, I want true happiness

Halfway Houses

Has anyone besides me ever stop and think why the halfway houses in York are located in some of the worse neighborhoods in York. Is that setting them up for failure or what? For instance some of the houses I know of are the one Belvidere and up the street is west princess, one on east Prospect Street which is near Pine Street, and one on south duke street. Men and women come from surrounding areas in hope to become clean and sober and there is temptation all around them. I can’t seem to understand how that is helping them any and I are not saying everyone fails but I’m sure there are a lot that do. I feel if baseball stadiums can be built then why can’t have halfway houses in more decent areas. There probably wouldn’t be a lot of people to comfortable with that idea but let’s face it anything can happen to anyone at anytime no matter how safe you might feel. No one’s saying they have to be like the private resorts but some place nice so they have a greater chance at recovery but I’m sure a lot of things get overlooked due to budgets and importance.
