The rat race is a social issue. Needing to be a part of it in order to engage and produce in our society is a social issue. I really encourage you to speak out about your perspective, I think you will find that there are many other people that feel the same way you do. To put it in short, our valueless monetary system breeds people to believe that it doesn't matter what they do. That others don't matter. All that matters is their survival which in turn, of course other factors play a major role, creates a sociopathic sense of self and others which leads to actions like what I mentioned in my post. When people are going around just robbing and killing for money, as a source of income.... What is crime driven by? Thank you for your input. Why would anybody benefit from destroying others, or believe that they might? I respectfully disagree and think that these ideas possibly hold us back from societal growth and understanding. There are two perspectives to every story. By assuming some people are just inherently bad, it dismisses them from being capable of change.
