Dude, women have been voting for less than a hundred years, human beings were slaves to other human beings, nonstop war...etc. if anything, people are growing up more. We're not without growing pains, though. It's easy, with more access to information, to notice bad things but the truth is that will eventually help us all

I understand your perspective.

If you would just give it a real chance, you might see that we are still slaves, just with an illusion of choice.

Voting is a joke. When was the last time we had faith in our government, or any of our leaders?

Think of a building with two entrances, one left and one right. What if it doesn't matter which door you chose because they both lead to the same and only exit.

The only thing worse than tyrants, slavery and all this ugly past you spout on about, is the illusion of change.

When people can see their cage, at least they can will to break out. What's worse is convoluted truth contorted until you believe you live in the wild, but instead voluntarily chose to lock yourself in a cage.

The human spirit has never been in worse shape, and this extra information is a self inflicted poison.

I'm not without hope though. Most people who know me believe I am an optimist. I act through optimism, but learn and discover with realism.

I can understand everyone's addiction to the lies the world tells us. Ignorance is a much easier and more accepted path

my answer has been to be a "peacekeeper" and keep my peace w/ my "higher power" and love all.
let the war mongers fight each other.
i don't do politics or news. i do PRAY a whole lot!

I understand. The fact that you can see the bars is due to information. Technology is allowing our immature brains a magnifying glass. Just know that it is adversity that sparks evolution.

If the boatloads of info are poison, what is the end result? Its a subconscious desire to feel in an open and free state but the ego does its patriarchal bs and tries to maintain control. When it can't, it destroys itself.

Remember that through letting go and ego death can we go from being able to see the bars to the realization that we're inching slowly along to see that there are no bars. Its a paradoxical balance that shows that both are true and untrue depending on perspective.
