I feel like the human race is closer to its animal primal form now more than ever...

All people talk about is psycho analysing the people around them in a way to undermine them.
They are aggressive hungry and out for the hunt and don't seem to care who they step on.
They're cunning and fake kindness to get them through the right door.
They have to be told so they can treat others with compassion because it's not on their agenda or not a natural instinct.
What have we done?!?!

It's because we measure success by wealth. People have been taught to value things instead of relationships.

When a person can grow successful by undervaluing the contributions of others it becomes a natural progression that people start to treat each other like stepping stones

@ViciDraco it's so sad. It really hurts my heart. I think that's why I stay indoors so much. People really scare me. A simple gesture is analysed against the written body language manual.
I think I liked when people were uneducated in these areas.

@Peppa I think most people aren't so bad, but the ones who are know how to fake it so well as to cast doubt on everyone else. And that level of distrust, once sewn makes it difficult for people to open up once again. And so even those who are not so bad wall themselves away and become cold and unreachable.

@ViciDraco Well I'm not cold nor unreachable but I am distant and I'm aware there are good people out there I met one just recently but again a nasty person is trying to keep us separate because she is afraid we will gang up against her. She's a bully and rubbish at her job, but she uses these mean tactics so that she can keep people fearful of her and isolated as they try and hide to avoid her. Keeping her in power. She is the perfect example of what's wrong with the world. Instead of being a nicer person she's become angry and bitter as she is unable to hold down a job I think due to her mental health issues.

@ViciDraco Very good point indeed.
