The World is in Peril: What the World needs now?

I see rampant materialism driving the world. Government and religion have become part of that materialism. If we could control the vanity and entitlement that empower materialism, we might see a change, but would it be for the better? Did communism or socialism curb materialism, I'm thinking no. Maybe war is the cure for materialism, and perhaps it is part of a never ending cycle. I wish Ihad a profound offering, but I think all I have left is cynicism.

Why America is is failing? And plagued with shootings like this in California Unlike any society on earth?


Simply put its trying to do the impossible—it wants to have its cake and eat it too


America is greedy its wants unlimited freedom:

Everybody can have a gun


Everybody can do what they want, say what they want, and have what they want and we can have 24/7 conflict in our social environment and its all right.

Its all right to call people names and insult people like Trump does.

Ask yourself why does ATS have rules of engagement?


Any kind of sex, drugs, rock n roll or whatever no restrictions on anything except crime

But what leads up to the mentality that produces terrorism and crime and lends the tools to it such as unlimited guns and the psychological tools such as massive freedom of perennial conflict, there’s no restrictions on.

America cant survive this way


It has to sacrifice somthing

Solutions


America must sacrifice something to get something--it’s that simple.

Why do you think on ATS they don’t let us go crazy and just say what we want?

You can’t have all that you want.

We teach children otherwise

And you have to realize the basic reality of garbage in garbage out

All the freedom to have all the thrilling conflict and division we want


What we're doing is reinforcing hatred and division 24/7


Even our religions no longer teach love or brotherhood


What the hell do you expect?


Human beings are creatures of habit and programming almost as much as a machine


You expose the populace to massive conflict, hatred, division and selfish hedonism


What the hell do you expect?


It’s almost a miracle it’s not worst

Some of these millionaires need to begin a countrywide conversation on love, brotherhood and community.

A positive reinforcement exercise of positive human reactions for a change

A nationwide conversation on getting along with each other maybe even learning to love each other

Meanwhile let the cops do what they have to do


And maybe, just maybe convince the gun people to sacrifice something for the good of the country


Tell them to think about those little kids being gunned down

Have some goddam trust for a while

Maybe the government won’t put us all in camps

They way where going there going to do that anyway

Tell the liberals to moderate their prurient entertainment and sex industry

Unlimited freedom without any self-restraint leads to just what where going through


sacrifice

The world needs abandonment of Collective Ego...

Till then....same old same old.

The problem in one sentence;

People do not accept equality.

We all like to we're better than someone else. Why is the work a janitor does less important than that of a CEO?

We all contribute to society in our own job roles but we are programmed to believe some roles and people are more important than others. This means some people get paid more and have more.

It's all wrong and it's all a lie the way we live.

Even money is a fictitious concept.

Were talking about dealing with an extreme problem: massive mass murders fueled by the conditioning of hatred, division and constant concentration on conflict

It’s everywhere: entertainment, movies, video games, TV, politics, religion

A society that fuels hatred and division with more of it and more of it

When do we give it a rest?

You go to church you see a man suffering on a cross being tortured

In the schools the kids are paraded around like zombies

Go to mosques and you worry about violence being preached

Were being deluged with strife, conflict, violence, hatred, division

There's nothing counterbalancing this

It’s a prescription that leads to just what s happening

We’ve arrived at doom
