It's a sad world.

I'm trying to find peace in the idea that there is no meaning to life. We are meant to be here simply to be, and I think that is beautiful.
The unfortunately thing is that we are forced to live the way we do. Work to live, live to work. Work to die, die to work.
I'm not lazy, and I'm definitely not entitled. I will just never understand how people are okay with the world we have create. Selfishness has been so normalized. What happened to help thy neighbour? Love thy neighbour?
This world is corrupt, and so are the most influential people and politicians.
Anyways, going to shut up and play by the rules now.

There have been improvements. Kings used to rule as absolute dictators. There used to be no civil rights or civil liberties. People protested and fought for change and change happened.
People used to work 12-14-hour days, 6 days a week with no paid sick leave or vacation, and no Social Security for their old age. There used to be cruel child labor. But people protested and those things changed.
We still have plenty of problems, but let's remember when We the People exercise our power, things change.

@badminton I think it's important to acknowledge the progress we have made as a society absolutely, but that doesn't take away how much farther we still have to go. These things should have never happened in the first place.
