21st Century Citizen.......NOT

While I do love some of the features of technology, getting to meet people from all over the world and share thoughts and ideas and being able to gain knowledge that I might not otherwise be able to do in an age without technology; most of the time I do not feel like I am in the right age. Matter of fact I feel like I am about 1000 years out of place or 5000 years out of place or 10000 years outta place or 25000 years outta place. Why so many different time periods, not so much because I am confused, but more because I believe that those are the time periods when my character would find more comfort than now in this age of money and gadgets.
I am not someone who craves being rich or famous, I do not need the latest new thing from Apple; instead, I actually avoid iAnything as much as I possibly can. While I do most of my writing online and therefore by keying and not writing, I still LOVE the act of sitting down and putting pen to paper. There is something so much more personal in that, when you chose the paper and the pen and sit and compose a missive you are making a personal connection with the recipient. You are giving them a gift from you. And when I receive a letter that someone took the time to actually compose via pen to paper, it is like holding a piece of them in my hands.
I LOVE my Kindle, I am a complete and total bookworm, and the best thing about my Kindle is being able to always have enough books to read....but I still have stacks and stacks of DTBs all over my house and bookcases overflowing, cause curling up on a rainy or lazy day with a good book to take you to far away places is the best thing in the world.
I love my smartphone and being able to always text my loved ones or check on friends on FB; but I love long conversations over coffee or dinner so much more.
But what makes me feel most outta place is that the things that I hold so close to my heart make me an outsider in this world. I believe in truth and honesty. I want honor and integrity to guide me. I look for justice and mercy in others. I crave a sense of compassion and duty. I insist that actions mean more than words, I demand that only words that are meant are spoken. I admire what you are and what you have done, not who you are and what you have. So, no I do not feel comfortable in the 21st century.
