Quick, try and think of something that isn't terrible or broken. Anything come to mind?

I think you need to put "American" before all (at least most) of those and that's why its terrible.
ReplyDeleteI love many people in my country (USA) and find them to be generally friendly, but there is no philosophy of life here. That is why most of the stuff you listed sucks. No culture here whatsoever.
I joined an ashram when I was a teenager to escape it all and then I left for good when I was 25 (foreign travel, living in South Asia).
There is good and bad everywhere but at least that part of the world has a philosophy of life and cultures.
Anway, my advice to you is: world travel.
Until then, take up some cognitive meditation and breathing practice.
Just throw out all of your American so called "music" and check out some classical genres, both Western and Eastern.
