Perhaps I am the only one feeling this way, but I have been noticing that our society (American society, at least) is filled with desensitization ( a.k.a. we're becoming less human, so to say) and that good morals and values are pretty much out the window in a majority of people.

So, I make this thread because I want to hear what you all think, considering a good portion of you may have experiences or thoughts about how society is turning towards a really bad fate.

To share an experience with you that is pretty personal, I spent 17 months in a treatment program. It was a place where I didn't see any family for months and I was pretty much on my own changing my behaviors. I was a lot younger then and was really a delinquent. I don't know if I should go into detail more, but I changed a lot and now have the values that I believe most people should have.

So, What do you think?

Society might not be up to expectation but it certainly is not becoming worse. Back then when they first settled, there was slavery. They also kicked out the Indians. Known as the trail of tears. Nowadays, we dont have any of that slavery and stuff

Life is not about achieving a dream or some sort of goal but living every day as best as you can, using all your strength to better yourself both physically and intellectually, or alternatively being a slave of da system and crying about how bad everyone is when you are too weak to do something good for yourself.
Quit being an emotional wreck and stand up for yourself. That does sound very harsh, but that's how it is. You have to be brave and strong to make something of yourself and become happy, seeing as the being ignorant and clueless way does not work for you at all.
That does not mean that you should ignore your feelings and just quit being a pussy bitch or something like that. Only a true idiot would say that. Depression is a serious condition that is very painful. Trust me, I know.
Philosophy helped me personally. Learning truths that I hold dear helped me understand myself and how stuff works, and it is that knowledge that helped me realize that my suffering was based on a broken understanding of the world.
Maybe that will work for you as well, I wouldn't know. You can try, I guess.



Anyway, gonna close this thread because you won't get any satisfying responses on these forums, and it has little to do with discussion either.
If you want a good forum, find one with people who actually know what they are talking about. Feel free to send me a PM if you happen to think what I say is interesting, or send me one when you think I am a dumb fuck.
ok bye
