in the 3000-year war between the haves and havenots, has the truth [the first casualty of war] got so far from us that even the most dispassionate mature responsible thinkers are in denial and cant face it?

225 people with as much wealth as 2,500,000,000 people

1% getting 90% of world income [US$70 trillion a year - may actually be worse - may be $270 trillion a year]

pay/fortnight's work from $1 to $1 billion, from 1000th to a million times average

are these figures assimilable to people any more? - or, if people realised these figures, and their implications, would it cause a giant mental meltdown, leaving a gibbering puddle on the floor?

violence is proportional to injustice:

unhappiness is proportional to injustice:

unreality is proportional to injustice:

we have pay from $1000 pay for a lifetime's work, to $1000 for a third of a second's work

did we leave being able to face reality a long long time ago?

I feel ya here. I don't think it is that people don't realize these stats...they just don't know what to do about them.

We do what we can to change it, such as turn out to vote to try to make a difference or get a college education, but we can't always break the barrier.

If you aren't rich, it is hard to become rich or if you are rich you don't understand why the poor are poor...why can't they get off their lazy a*ses and do something. It just isn't that simple.

I don't know what kind of music you like, but i heard a song by Stone Sour that sums up what you have written- it's called "Silly World" & you sound like you might take some comfort in knowing you're not alone.
In true response to your question all i can say is, in my opinion you're 100% right on. But then, i'm an old hippie who wanted to outlaw greed, & i let the bastards wear me down. Now i just live my own way behind the 9-5-ers & the daytimers.
Keep on truckin'.

Truth is simple, that had been stated not once. Ability to see a bigger picture simplify a broad view to the extend of recognizable simplicity. People tend to make everything complex,they roaming in enormous number of details as complexity claim itself in reality...But first it claims itself over creators of it, dictating one and only way through complexity. People become complex and deny to see the Truth over complexity they choose to be in. It becomes "too simple" to consider simplicity as a truth and painfully inconvenient as well... Nothing is evil unless mind make it so....nothing is complex unless mind make it so...Your statements above is nothing but simple truth... What we are going to do with that Truth? Only way we know is rebellion, which is complex itself which eventually and naturally comes to awful simplicity to kill left and right with no meaning left...Simplicity needs to be slowly and carefully understood first.

Your perception equipment does not embody "evil". What you're analyzing in the previous testomony is a coronary heart-analyzing God dealing with human evil head to head decrease than a theocracy. at that element God talked to the prophets and seers, gave them instructions as in basic terms an all-seeing, all-understanding, and all-being concerned God would desire to, and dealt out punishment to a rustic (Israelites) who had asked for God's management yet who have been nonetheless rebelliously doing evil acts to a minimum of one yet another, and dealing with heathen international locations who have been doing horribly merciless, evil acts to God's people. God has continuously been at conflict with evil because of the fact it hurts people, has continuously been the protector of the harmless, and has continuously been trouble-free. he won't excuse evil, or forget it. only because of the fact he does not punish as visibly on the instant will by ability of no ability detract from the undeniable fact that he will destroy evil and something related to it sooner or later. whilst Jesus grew to become into crucified as God in the flesh, the Jewish theocracy which those verses talk approximately grew to become into ended. The temple service of the slaying of animals for the forgiveness of sins grew to become into carried out away with whilst the curtain in the temple keeping apart the Holy place from the main Holy place grew to become into ripped in 2 on the time Jesus' dazzling sacrifice grew to become into finished. we are actually not from now on residing decrease than a theocracy, for this reason, the punishments of the previous testomony not prepare. yet whilst shall we quite comprehend the character of evil, see it for the terrible situation that's, for the discomfort and misery it motives, we would see the punishments are, and could be, only. God so enjoyed the international that he gave his son so we are able to have the capability to chop up from evil. that's what he needs for us. it is all your perception equipment ought to encompass. enable God manage evil.....he isn't in basic terms qualified, he's able.

Its nothing to do with truth.
Everything is the only way it can be otherwise it would be different.
