Why is society so messed up?

[CallingAllCars]

We obsess over so many things (money, social media, sex etc.) that it clouds everything. No one seems human anymore. If they were they would show more compassion and less corrupt. One of the main things that annoys me the most is the pervertness of everyone. Literally everywhere you look you see something sexual. weather it be a song, poster, book, movie, on the internet or even in schools, its there. I feel this world is too perverted and it annoys the hell out of me. It makes me hate humanity. Why do songs have to have sex in it? Really only the songs that aren't about sex are any good. Why do books or movies have to have sex in them? It doesn't make them any more appealing. It makes them LESS appealing. Yet these inappropriate books and movies sell the most. All people have to do is slap an 'attractive' guy/girl and it becomes a best seller. Look at fifty shades of grey, all it is is sex and yet its one of the biggest books ever. It makes no fricking sense. What also annoys me is how I hear people make inappropriate all the time. Its not funny AT ALL. It just pisses me off. it pisses me off that I almost got into a fight with someone from school. They say these 'jokes' everywhere, even in public places or AROUND CHILDREN. Who would do that? Thats ruining that kid's childhood. Do they like knowing that they ruined someone's childhood? Another thing that bothers me is the violence and greed in this world. Almost every video game made now of days lets you kill innocent people. No longer is it "kill the bad guys who are trying to hurt people" its "kill every living thing you see and have fun while doing it." I admit I have played those games and done stuff like that, call me a hypocrite if you want but I wish i hadn't done it. Did I have fun? Yes. Is it right that I enjoyed it? No. But since when has doing something wrong not been fun? We shouldn't have the choice to do those things. It angers me a lot. I will fight agansit this corrupt society until the day I die but the sad part is is that Im probably not gonna make a difference because people see people like me and think "Well if he's agansit something that I do EVEN IF ITS WRONG" Then Im gonna put him down and forget him. I hope I will affect society one day but so far Ive only affected a few good people. Thank you for listening to my little rant, my question for you guys is why do you think society is like this and do you think itll ever end? Thank you.

well Ionlyregretthesummer, based on your username, you sound young.
Sex is another level on intimacy and it connects you with that other person on a high emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level. To be so close to this other person, to breathe atoning the rhythm of their breathe. Its a connection. Its a beautiful thing. Of course one of the seven deadly sins is lust. But why are there seven deadly sins? They are what makes us human. What we constantly break. We are human, we are imperfect, we have desires, its human nature. And this is just the way we are. Youre human too.
I think the social media portrays this in a way relating to our human desires. We all have thoughts, emotions, feelings that we could probably relate to within social media.

I know, it's kind of disgusting right, can't go anywhere or do anything without sex/lusty stuff popping up in your face. I think it hurts people's brains!! I wonder about everything you just typed, it's very disturbing at times. I honestly do not think it will end, we are being corrupted and there's no running from it (it's everywhere, obviously) and kids are being raised by this new society, how do you think they'll turn out? Society is like this (in my opinion) because sex sells, it's one of the best feelings in the world... beauty is power, and desirable, everybody wants to be beautiful, violence is exciting, etc it's cheap fun but that's why I think.
