I 've come to conclusion that this all planet is pretty f.up. People are ruled by greed, money, personal interests and most of them would be glad to put someone into missery. I just cant believe it anymore. I cant count 10 really honest people that I know (including myself). Something needs to be done.
I'd agree but with me you'll see than I'm as honest as can be! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Consider your assessment could be wrong, especially pertaining to those people just beginning their lives, and then try personally doing one selfless and constructive thing every day, out of hope instead of resignation.
hypewaders , "and then try personally doing one selfless and constructive thing every day, out of hope instead of resignation. " I do try, however few people even notice and even fewer care. And when you try more direct approach and try explaining things the way others should understand, thats when you face the wall, then you might face a nice 'smile' and know that you can not change someone if he does not want that change himself. What's more to say?
Society is a second order cybernetic system. Bias is the norm. It is good that you are honest enough with yourself to recognize the problem but realize that any one's perspective is biased. A conclusion that you can draw from your observations is to change your associations and seek more collusion with those who retain humble lives doing service to others. There are many, and perhaps most, who do not pursue dishonesty as a means to an end. With the information explosion taking off, I might suggest seeking greater integrity is a survival advantage.
listen to mr. chips. You've taken the first step in identifying the problem, now actively work to fix it. Change yourself. "Observe constantly that all things occur through change" - Marcus Aurellius.
Do you live in the U.S? Or in a populated city? Seems like you do, that tends to be the attitude of most city dwellers. I suggest moving to remote areas. You'd be surprised how mellow people are outside of the hustle and bustle.
sargentlard , no not in the u.s. , and changing myself??? will not solve the problem, thats not the issue here,
Dreamwalker , It's quite obvious that you missed the point, and not only you. If you change yourself, make your peace with unjastice and become immune to it (accept it) then you solved nothing, you are then part of the problem. You do not have to be too wise to understand this. All you need to do is step back and look at the whole world picture, just think about it ...
