[Discussion] Why is the world so messed up?

[Yubel]

And what can we do to fix it?

 

[BlazeRelease]

the world is messed up because of people who want to continuously retain old time customs and refuse to allow humanity progress out of fear, and instead ridicule them and find ways to demonize people who want to bring about change, for fear of the world changing from what they believed it to always be.

you can help fix this by voicing your opinion on things and making a contribution to something that will change the world and help us progress together.

you could support a social movement, become a (hopefully non corrupt) politician, vote for someone who will bring positive change, support a good cause, help to stop world hunger, and many other things. you are just one person, so you contribution to the world is small, but never underestimate how valuable your actions are, because everyones contribution is critical in order to help humanity progress.

Yes. Let a bunch of teenagers fix the world. As if nobody else has tried.

Is that really the reason it's messed up? People resisting change? They are resisting because the world they are changing to is worse for them than their present or past. However, is that where all this hate and insanity comes from?

well... we are the next adults. its at the very least a good thing if we all start thinking of ways to improve the world. since last eras adults didn't do a good job, its up to us to bring about a positive change. otherwise, the next generation of kids will go through the same hell.

people who resist change will always remain in a primordial "dog eats dog" mind set. too many people are still involved in ancient problems that have always been the down fall of humanity, like wars, refusing to make scientific improvements, refusal to reform society to coexist better, and refusal to recognize the flaws within current society for fear of change.

if all people were able to move forward in the world without fear, we wouldn't have religious wars, we wouldnt have underdeveloped societies requiring food assistance, and the minorities in society wouldn't be oppressed disrespected and treated like 2nd class citizens.

As long as people keep creating Gods to forgive them for killing other people and manipulate people only for getting where they have to in life. This world can't be fixed. This world is fine, it's the people living on it who **** it up.


If you want to fix it, basically you have to remove the order of civilization and remove money in the process. Let human kind strive for greatness and peace out of the goodness of their heart instead of doing it for paper created from trees.

Most wars happen between two countries, racism happens between two people of different color. The main theme here is that we believe the other party to be different. We need to break those barriers that creates our differences inorder to be able to co-exist.

Money is actually made of cotton not trees.

Because ppl are messed up and things will only get worse with time. Nothing u can do about it. :|

 

[Yubel]

It's frustrating because we all want the same thing but there are all these layers of bs that causes mayhem.
No one is born with a desire to kill someone else or hate someone or use people for their benefit, why do people do this to each other?

exactly. racism is an old time "them vs us" mindset. but as you can see these days, there are plenty of people who see racism is stupid.

countries go to war because they think its ok to kill and force people to submit. these days, obama tries to negotiate like a human being and avoid conflict.

I believe that people are inherently evil to an extent. Society teaches us that that isn't acceptable but there are those that can go the extra mile and be a real douche to society.

Someone who does that is someone who themselves have been hurt in the past and it's their way of sharing their pain because misery loves company.

Well it's not the world that's messed up, we humans are sick at our core, with fear, greed and wanta/needs. Once you fix that and once everyone starts relying on inner sources(understanding yourself) for happiness, the world will be fixed. I.e we need to understand ourselves at a fundamental level as 'whatever we are' before we do anything. That being said I think the very human nature is extreme happiness in itself we are just held back by being misguided.

I am not sure if I would use that word "evil" but yeah I believe that people are inherently selfish and will run over other individuals for their own success.

Kill all the white people...! Right?

This world has been messed up since long time ago and will stay like that for a long time.
