Two major reasons in my opinion.....MEDIA and EVIL.
People keep looking towards science to simply throw another pill down someones throat. People keep looking at political views, to throw another law into someone lifestyle. How about we take the time to realize there may be some another factors. Pure Evil. What we could start doing is stop glorifying and giving these EVIL people so much attention, and instead start glorifying the good people, the heroes, the good deeds that people do. Flood the news with GOOD stories, instead of sweeping them under the rug. Let the new generation see that it is COOL to do good things. The media shows what looks like a damn leader board on the mass shootings for the top 10. WTF! I'm sure you all heard plenty about the Vegas shooter, you probably know his name by heart and his whole life...do you know any names of the heroes who helped people who were wounded? The heroes who stayed and helped instead of running? Why isn't there a leader board of heroes? Lets make some hip hop songs about helping people and being healthy instead of hurting people and doing drugs.I'm am not saying we need to be overboard loving and mushy, but show some appreciation towards good events and good people, and maybe the upcoming generation will include more heroes instead of villains. Maybe Steemit and the blockchain will be the future of bringing a great group of people together to see each other through our own point of views instead of being told who each other are through the media. Have a great day @sean-king !
