There is a FUNDAMENTAL problem with OUR SOCIETY, and this is why..

..This is why you and your loved ones will never be safe from random violence and crime. This is why other countries will always hate the U.S.A, and everything it stands for. This is why murder suicides, serial rapists, suicide bombings, gang violence, terrorist attacks, drug abuse, corporate scams, identity fraud, enviromental polution, etc. will always be on the news. And will only get worse with every passing day. Until we reach the breaking point and society falls apart and/or we completely destroy the world we live in.

There is a FUNDAMENTAL problem with capitalism and our consumer culture, that breeds devil-may-care attitudes and get ahead at any cost tactics. This is why people are unhappy and seek to punish those who have thrown away their lives and value to society, by lashing out at those who they percieve as causing them the most harm. As well as anyone else that gets in their way.

This is why all the arts have sold out to corporate greed. And why mainstream movies, music, games and everything else to do with pop culture and mass media, that brings us temporary happiness and escape from the world we live in, is suffering from lack of creativity, quality, direction and any real meaning or intrinsic artistic, cultural value.

It is a disease that is eating at the very hearts and souls of every one of us, that will never stop until we make a conscious choice to choose another direction for ourselves. And realize there is something more important than having the latest, new, best and most expensive toy. Or having the flashy car and bling that makes all the shallow, superficial girls all want to have meaningless, empty and perverted sex with you.

This is why no matter how many guns you stockpile, insurance policies, and steps you take to protect yourself and your precious belongings, ..you and those you love, whether that means family, friends or objects, will NEVER truly be safe. You can delude yourself all you want into thinking that you have control and as long as you look out for yourself things will be okay. But that is the delusion, because we are ALL connected. And what affects one of us, affects everyone.

This is why we are breeding anti-social, jaded, maladjusted misfit children with a contempt for authority and society as a whole. We are losing touch with our interconnectedness and social functions. Simple things such as being a good neighbor, hospitality and old fashioned values that have worked for our society for generations are being lost and becoming passe.

This is why people raised in our sprawling urban cities, that never get to spend time in the great outdoors and find out what it is like to live as a part of nature as we were meant to, will never care as much about the environment and it’s value to us. Or why it is a vital part of our existence..

There are many more reasons why, feel free to share what you think the reason is and what we could do to change it…
