At one time, all of our ancestors looked into the world with hope and promise; thinking that the future generations would better the world. I wonder what they would think if they could see the world that's been produced. Every day all we see is news stories of people dying, of hate crimes, of violence, of everything that is negative. We've become tolerant of bad news, we brush off 100 people dying in an accident or war as the way the world is. What good is our 'evolved' sense of intelligence when we erase the humanity that is our nature. We want to hear the stories that happen, but only the negative news makes it on. We want to hear about the plane crash, but we don't really feel sorry for it. We have to know about the war, but we're so displaced from it that it's hard to comprehend(I'm not saying all, cuase some feel every bit of news with true heartfelt concern). And so many just don't care, they brush it off and don't think twice. And what's worse is those who are oppresed, act the same as those who do the oppressing. How do we change humanity? How can we consider ourselves evolved when we are such hypocrites that we are blind to our own actions. How do we make the world see the pain we ourselves inflict on each other; when we don't see the pain we inflict upon ourselves?
