What the hell happened to us?

[Andrew]

I've been thinking lately. Is compassion, caring for one another, or just common sense completely gone from the human psyche? I mean, think about it. We as humans are like machines, we are programmable. Made to think or do anything that another person or persons wants out of us. Weird terminology I know but stay with me. We WANT to live in a world where there is no war, no debt, no famine, no death, but all of it is there. And a we do is just "sit and bitch". Granted that's what I'm doing now but this is more of me getting an idea of what other people think. With the easy access of the internet and social media, we are "programmed" to not physically do anything to change something, we just complain about what bothers us. And even then it's about mindless bullshit. So what if justin burner got arrested, GET OVER IT!! Your parents bought the wrong color iPhone, GET OVER IT!!! You hate your job, BE GLAD YOU HAVE ONE!! Seriously, what happened to us as humans? Can we change?

What happened? We are humans. Look at you, your an example of your own question. There is positive things going around us every day but in American culture we like to focus on the negativity. We rather talk about Miley Cyrus doing one of her antics instead of talking about how the other day I was at the gym where this middle aged woman put the treadmill too fast and fell down. At least 10 people stopped their workout and went to help her. Is there evil people in this world? Spoiled people who complain and whine? Of course but there are also positive things. Instead of just questioning it go volunteer!

We can't really change because of lazy people.if you were to create an engine that gets 200 miles to the gallon and only cost 50 bucks to build and you worked for ford motor company.you go tell your boss what you did.he in turn tells his boss.then the higher ups will say but we would have to reconstruct our entire factory which will cost money which means I won't get a bonus.then even if they did do it then you would suddenly find gas costing 15 bucks a gallon instead of 4.people that run the world don't want change.they allow small little insignificant changes to shut people up.we have the capabilities to accomplish anything we want but the leaders will have to change their life around to allow these things to happen.they are lazy.

Yes you are right people with amazing lives great opportunities , have and an education etc take every thing for granted and just want more and more and don't even stop to think about the people who don't have anything . Countries can pay for war but not the poor! rich people have 3 mansions while theres people living in huts or in the street! people lost their morality and sense of humanity that is why the world is messed up. People feel good about stuff like giving an apple to a homeless man !These are the things that a decent human being is supposed to do for a person in need ? How can we change the world when everyone are hating each other? We need to all unite and get rid of the stupid division of mankind by race gender religion etc beause humans are interdependent we need each other to make our world a better place because at the end of the day we're all Human

At some point we started to worship money, and talk like we could "make" it ourselves. We started to see it as normal that if we buy a 100 grand house, we pay 200 grand to the bank for creating the 100 grand out of thin air. We created financial casinos so some people can get rich without doing any actual work, at the expense of everybody else.
We invented scapegoats, like jews, illuminati, liberals, welfare queens, etc... anything to not have to acknowledge that money does not grow or reproduce, or that other people getting poorer is the only way to get richer
