Where are the philosophers on here? The thinkers? Come on guys, no more BS answers, or spam. Serious thought. People in general, make about 1000000 decisions a day, everything from what to eat, drink, where to work, what to wear, everything, so therefore they make the same snap assumption/judgements when they see others as well.
So why is it that people instead of being friendly towards one another, are VERY distrustful, competitive, envious of those that have more, conniving, and hard to categorize because they're so strange?
I mean, yes okay, before anyone critizises me for making broad generalizations, I know that there are good people, and normal people, but there are also the types I just described.
Is it human nature to be self-conscious, self-aware, and put self first above everyone else?
It seems like humans have HUGE ego problems, and everything revolves around the self, status, money, pride, looks, sex.
Why are "nerds" so unpopular? Human Nature. they want

...continued///.
they want what they can't have, or what they percieve is attractive, or something worth going to.
Why have something that's below you?
It's like, why do people FLOCK to California/New York to live, watch all these hollywood shows, love wearing certain types of clothing, jewelry, cars,...
Ego, status, self-esteem,...self-gratification.
This is why people who are REALLY into all of this, are going to have a difficult time getting old, and I just think this part of our human nature is bad.
HOw can we become better people, if it's not in our nature?
(not for all people)

The simple answer is that by nature, we are selfish. A bit more complex answer is that it is our instinctive nature to want and have, as in survival of the fittest. I will stop at that to avoid writing a thesis and boring you.

I think it also deals with people being scared of different things and/or people and so they change their fear into anger to help them get by it "their" way. There are people that do know how to control this emotion, thank goodness for those people. If there weren't people who knew how to be nice, I'd probably lose hope for everything.
