Am I crazy for feeling this way?

Today I was discussing Romeo and Juliet with one of the girls I'm friends with who constantly worries about her make up and clothes and you know what she said? She said Shakespeare is stupid and cliche and that Romeo and Juliet should not be read because it is a play. That didn't make me hate her anymore, it didn't make me want to strangle her.No, it made me pity her. It made me feel deeply sorry for her and all the people that feel this way about poetry and books. How can you like a movie like Twilight or a show like 'Living with Kardashians', but disrespect Shakespeare? At that moment it really did hit me how messed up our society is. We talk, yes, but hardly about anything. When do we really ever feel bothered? When do we talk about tragedies? When do we really sit down and talk to somebody anymore? Not just about something "important" but carry a funny or a meaningful conversation without going off-topic or having awkward silences? That's right, never. Because we're a feel-good society and that stuff makes us sad and depressed. Technology is communication and I know so many people my age who would rather get on facebook or Instagram than to talk to their own mother. I also know a lot of mothers who would rather get on facebook or Instragram than to talk to their children. It's like we can't talk to people anymore because there's a wall between them and us that is created by technology. We don't know HOW to talk. Texting? Sure, oh we're professionals, but carrying a real conversation, a conversation where you HONESTLY feel connected to the person and you discuss something with such great passion, you feel as if you'll collapse? You never see that anymore and that is because people text their problems. Oh texting is so much easier, of course. You don't have to feel, you don't have awkward silences. But what kind of people are we without feelings and a knowledge about communication? We're robots. My own mother actually has no time to talk to me. Really, she is so head-over heels for facebook that we don't find time to speak and it's like when I try, I feel as if she's not there. I feel like I can't talk to her because she's somewhere far away, even when she's one foot away from me. Nothing makes me more sad than this. And I'm no better, here I'm posting something on Tumblr, using technology to express my feelings, but I felt like a lot of my followers will at least see this and hopefully this will somehow effect you and maybe change your mind just a bit about this world. My point is, material things can never make you happy. You can have the latest iPhone, the biggest computer, a closet full of designer clothes, a thin body, a small nose, and perfect boobs but trust me, you won't feel any happier.
