Its a materialistic orgy of self contentment through achieving material goals of one nature or the other.

Untill we change that set of values nothing willl change in my opinion.

Kids at school from an early age are taught to compete in and out of the classroom, to be the best , to achieve, to be ambitious, to excell others in everything

How can a society be emotionally healthy when formed by emotionally sick individuals that seee in others competitors, goals or ladders to be used in the achievement of personal material objectives?

How different it would be if children were taught and encouraged to grow and shine spiritually, to treat others with love and kindness, and if this was then also found in day to day society, an altruistic place of spiritual richness?

An average human lifetime is spent aproximately 90p.c. in the pursuit of material wealth.
Life , the gift of life, is spent trying to achieve material wealth on a planet that was given for free
How sadly ridiculous is it?

Love replaced often by lust camouflaged as Love.

Greed based on fear.

Feelings derided when positives feelings have the potential of healing and changing the world

I agree. Children are guided in school from an early age to conform, to compete and to follow the rules. No wonder people feel so lost and unhappy later in life.

Steve Jobs, a control freak, is someone that is held up to children as a shining example for others to follow. I found him to be a sad and troubled being. Take a look at this thread:

Re: i think the main problem is the values society is built on
To exorcise our inner demons that keep us from being free, the freeedom that comes from inner purity based on transparency and goodness of intentions, wether they are percieved like that or not..

And sometimes they are literally inner demons that keep us chained to our erroneous ways.

To have the ability of recognizing that our dark side is probably that..demons that grasp at our weaknesses to stop us achieving Gods will.

Demons that stop us seeing and keep us tied to ourselves and our fears

What is Gods will? In my opinion...The Kingdom
The ultimate spiritual quest..
