Evil is running rampant.No conscience,no compassion,no love or caring.People are becoming mindless and soulless. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11125841 Not all of us, friend. There are still many of us left on this plane who adore goodness and kindness. There are for sure, but that breed is a minority anymore and not publicized enough by MSM. They fill our minds with vile, nefarious reports and it is in a way ,subtle brainwashing. You start dwelling on nothing but bad news and you create a very unhealthy energy “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11125841 There are beings on earth with very strong consciences, great compassion and understanding. They think, they use their ability to analyze and reason, and they know what really matters in life, in the universe. But the majority of human beings are wholly consumed with greed, apathy, lust, pettiness, shallow and perverted thoughts, selfishness, etc. etc. etc. They are vacuous souls, wasted minds. |

There is a lot of evil in the world. I don't know if it's more prevalent now than in times past. I read "Fox's Book of Martyrs" a few months ago and I could only get about 3/4 through. The tortures that humans did to other humans centuries ago just for believing a certain way boggles the mind. |

There are too many people in too much stress thinking negatively and worrying. All of these thoughts collectively change the worlds reality, and our reactions to them. ie: if most of the sheeple would wake up, then after the revolution, people the world over would generally feel better and thus no more negative thoughts, no more negative actions.

Wow... a thread where we can discuss things and people don't just attack each other. Are we still on GLP? The critical thinking comment was antagonising, i'll give you that. "most of the awful instances happen in backward countries" - agreed that the USA has it's fair share of awfulness, as do other developed countries. I suppose i should have clarified that i mean backward areas rather than countries, ie. places where there is little to do (normally due to poverty). There are shitty people out there and if not kept busy they will do what ever to entertain themselves. Hangings / stonings in medieval times were like going to the cinema. It's the morbid streak that people have, a fascination with death. We've all clicked on videos knowing that they will be awful, and then regretted it. Will we click again? yes? Are we evil people, not entirely no. |
