Why are we killing ourselves? Read on...?

Question

We are crafting a society that is oppressive and dangerous.

Fear of the few is leading to stricter laws and tougher penalties, many of which are catching what would others wise be called innocent bystanders and crushing them under the wheels of this runaway train called ‘justice’.

At the same time, we can hardly do anything anymore without fear of litigation. Whoops someone trips over something you left on the ground. They take you to court for all you've got. It’s their fault for not looking where they are going but you are the one who pays.

When someone commits a crime, they are branded for the rest of their life in many cases, he is an armed burglar, she is a con, etc. Although this may be far in the past and the person has turned over a new leaf none of this matters.

Laws protecting the guilty party force the innocent to take more drastic action, and then they are found to be the worse party. Kids are bullied so much that they finally snap and take a gun to school. Gangs rove the streets breaking into places, robbing people at knife point until the residents can’t take it anymore.

People want only for themselves, giving nothing and wanting everything. Bigger house, faster car, but who cares who you have to step on the way up.

This is just to name a few

Why are we letting this happen? Why don't we stop it before it's too late?

Thanks.

Killing of the soul of humanity if not of the body.

Answer 1

There's a battle going on. Not quite like the one your discussing, but similar. I'm a teenager so I'm more determined to change the generation that is going down the drain leading the next 50 years of history rather than the one that's already gone completely crazy.

People are so determined to stand up for the immoral because, "It's politically correct to hear all opinions." Well political correctness offends me.... I agree there is so much violence and hate, and selfishness and not to mention stupidity, but theres the media taking over teenagers minds. Taking their money, their lives, and their morals. Here's my take. Let's stop sitting on our butts and start moving!

Answer 2

Arthur relax, enjoy the blessings that the Lord prayers for
you. The opposite is truth. Do you really believe that some
people know that the modernization of everything is a new
sense of dignified productivities? They not only do not know
listening to Television could be banned and fined to that
extent at any time the faithful deem necessitated, judgement.
Wise guys will go to the bad place, and pay the ticket costs.
Too many mad idiots have already sent in their profile to the
perfect technologies and paid the costs.

from: Private Property and Communism


"General envy constituting itself as a power is the disguise in which greed re-establishes itself and satisfies itself, only in another way. The thought of every piece of private property as such is at least turned against wealthier private property in the form of envy and the urge to reduce things to a common level, so that this envy and urge even constitute the essence of competition. Crude communism is only the culmination of this envy and of this levelling-down proceeding from the preconceived minimum. It has a definite, limited standard."

Karl Marx
Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844

Private Property and Communism

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

P.S. The Will subsumed within its accompanying Judgment is evil. Can you become a positive individual? Anger is the positive expression for fear. Physically work out your fear and you gain peace as you undermine your anger. This shall help maintain clarity for thought as you assimilate more information.

Answer 4

The "Tower of Babel" never has ceased to exist. It is not the top of a tower... it is the top of a powerful dictating bureaucratic system world wide where the powerful can hide from the dirt of lower society. The long time existing Anti Christ, long before the collection of modified books and scrolls, known as the Bible has been telling all that the Anti Christ will be coming.

Answer 5

People live in fear and anger. They don't love themselves enough. When you don't love yourself you lash out at others, committing crimes, bullying, being cruel. It has a domino effect. So half the people are mean & violent & the other half are frightened victims. No way to live. & the cycle perpetuates itself. As you said.

The most important thing we can do individually & as a society is learn to love ourselves. When you are good to you, taking good care of yourself inside & out, liking who you are, it has a positive effect on how you treat others. When you love yourself, you then love others, love the world. You have no need to hurt others to feel better about yourself.

Unfortunately most people fail to recognize this or to do anything about it. So we are limited to dealing with the evildoers (such as putting them in jail, making them accountable for their actions) and helping victims to cope & take back control of their lives. Of course if you love yourself it's harder to be victimized because you stand up for yourself.

We are a passive aggressive society. Some people choose to run from problems. Some people choose to fight. Fight or flight isn't the answer. We must learn to be assertive. To stand up for ourselves, not with violence & aggression but with words and reason. We must not back down or refuse to confront issues. Hiding from a problem doesn't make it go away. Quite the opposite. We must have the confidence to take charge of our lives.

Answer 6

I agree with you but the ones with the power to stop this is to busy with things that matter to him like oil and wars that should never be and were to get more soldiers and how to pay for this war that he is responsible for and until he gets off his high horse and see what else is going on here then there will be people struggling to make it each day and struggling to clear their name for a mistake he/ she did in the past and so on. That my op ion but who am I to say what needs to be righted after so much wrong

Answer 7

Q. in case you do not have faith in God, then what's the factor of living? Why does living might desire to have a "factor" in any respect? Do the "lilies of the sector" might desire to have a factor to stay? in case you will possibly be able to desire to have a "factor", then come to a decision on your person which ability of existence. We have faith that it rather is plenty extra clever to confirm our very own purpose, than to have some church do it for you in line with their time table! Q. does not being an Atheist "cheapen" existence? A. actual faith cheapens existence. Being an Atheist makes existence extra effectual. in view that there is not any after-existence, you will possibly be able to desire to come to words with the reality that it is the only existence you will get. If an atheist throws himself in front of a bus with the intention to keep a toddler, that action is plenty extra significant than if a Christian did a similar factor. The Christian thinks they're going to easily bypass to heaven and stay there! seem on the 9/11/2001 bloodbath in ny and Washington D.C. those non secular (Muslim) people concept that their movements might hasten and be sure their get right of entry to into eternal bliss, yet what they actually did became throw away the only existence that they had in an act of "faith". *drinks*

Answer 8

Lack of Responsibility for One's Own Actions!!!

Answer 9

fear, to sum it up. fear of getting hurt ourselves. this fear came from somewhere it evolved and got worst, fear is what keeps us down, it's what makes us easy to control. fear leads to loneliness and isolation which leads to desperation and bad decisions, the feeling of being unable to control our own lives makes us want to control others and make them follow our rules, that's why we have to many corrupt leaders in the world today.

Answer 10

Basic human nature, we, the few, choose not to lead this life of sin.
