Modern Life is Rubbish
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage and kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” ~ Howard Zinn.

Then there is the belief in people and what they said. Some, no make that most, people believe in what a select few says to them. These select few are people with atatus or privileges. Or they have achieve some amount of celebrity status. And these status and privileges of the select few are bestow upon them by those who are now their believer.

A night train through hills and valleys
Days are getting dark outside my window. It's going to rain soon. After the rain, it's going to be dark as night would have fallen.
Life is a journey not a destination. All of us would probably heard of that.
As we grow older, we plan for our future. We want material comforts. A roof or two to cover our heads in case it rains. Machineries to transport us to places without relying on public transport. Financial means to get all those mentioned things. Some would want children. To make them happy. To make them complete. To carry the family's name. As an extension of themselves.

Compression in music a reflection of modern society?
Sound compression. What is it? To answer that, we have to know what is dynamic range first. Simply put, dynamic range is the difference the loudest and softest sound that a human can hear. Or, the difference between the loudest and softest sound in a recording.
