Its like words do not mean anything anymore we talk but people only hear what they want to hear. We now live our lives to have the amercian dreams of the white pickett fence and the dog ang three kids and life is really more about that its about finding your purpose in life. I fear that I will not find my purpose. Did you know on average that it will take the average person seven years to get a four year degree. That because their lost and cannot figure out what the heck they are going to do with their life. Its like we all live for our nitch in the materialistic fiber of society. It reminds me of a quote by Albert Einstien he said, " dont be a man of success but rather a man of value" its very sad what money can do to people. It makes them selfish, WHY? I would like your thoughts on this particular subject. Thank You

Money and Greed, Money and Greed...etc It is very sad. I have a 2 1/2 year old son, and I don't even know what the state of this money driven society will be like by the time he can understand things like that. This world revolves around the CORPORATE dollar. It is not the mom and pop store on the corner that has driven greed to the front of society. It is the corporations always wanting more and more and more profit. How many billions in profit is enough? When a company makes 10 billion in profit, does it really have to strive for 15 billion in the next year. Do they really have to cut jobs and hike up the prices to keep 150 shareholders in a room happy? I think not, but it really doesn't matter what you and I think, because we have no voice that can be heard by the Corporations, and they wouldn't listen anyway. The government (makes billions on corporate taxes) has created so many laws to protect corporations, and so many more, that get exploited by corporations, that everything they do is Technically legal. Even though it destroys society, puts people on the street, creates more harm than good on any given day. No one is willing to stand up and stop them. If I could, I would. But I would be considered a crackpot, and thrown in jail probably. So I sit by and watch the world crumble, and hope that maybe someday everyone will get fed up of being pushed around by corporations. Should it really cost $30 a month in bank fees to have a bank account? To give someone YOUR money that they then use to make themselves more money, and CHARGE YOU FOR IT! Banks make 12 billion in profit every year, with the money we give them to hold on to. I don't remember ever signing anything that says the bank can use 1 penny of my money for their personl gain, and yet they do and they don't even have to ask...and whatever Pathetic interest they offer could accumulate for 100 years and still wouldn't cover 1 years worth of bank fee's. Something really needs to be done...

This is called existential "angst". Read Sartre and Camus. Try Zen. Blow bubbles on babies' bellies.

Evil as a percentage is the same....We just have more people!!! More people = more evil!!!
Keep God in your heart, and evil will have nowhere to live!!!
