I don't know what needs to happen. I want to believe that we have the ability to rise up out of this, but it's the same cycle repeating over and over again. A lot of people want to be told what to think, and a few people really want to have power over others. It's the logical course for it to take. The only thing that will stop it is if we can get rid of that aspect of human nature somehow. I mean, you and I, and probably anyone who might reply to this, we just want to live our lives, personally I'd love it if we could all get along, not sure why we shouldn't be able to since we're all humans and want the same basic things out of life, like love, happiness, safety, fulfillment, and so on. But there are some people who want something else. The most common form it takes is greed for material wealth. Everyone wants to be comfortable, to be able to support themselves and their people. But some people want more, no matter how much they have. They'll do whatever it takes, they may even make decisions that hurt other people to get it. They might even topple economies, start wars, or drum up one half of the people against the other, twisting something in their nature against one another, so they can be richer and more influential. It's really about the power. Some people want power over everyone else. I don't get it, but it's there, and if it wasn't this group of sociopaths, it would be another.
I try really hard to believe that this can change. I really hope it does.
Yeah, it seems like we're really living the Kali Yuga.
