People are so ruled by fear, so conditioned, that they cant think for themselves anymore, its like everyone has tunnel vision, its human nature for us to categorise things, fear the unknown and be selfish creatures. Arrogant and deluded into thinking we're superior to everything. I like to think of it as a new era, too much chaos and order will emerge, too much order and chaos will ensue. We are at the tipping point, people are starting to wake up, the system is beginning to crumble. :) our old way of thinking is slowly being eradicated. More and more people actually care about others, newer generations are exposed to more cultures, people and have a new way of thinking. now, we accept our uniqueness, slowly, anyone can see it, we're not there yet but the world is changing. People are starting to wake up, see reason, abandon the old way of thinking ,with separation, contests and the media is just becoming ridicules, having less power over us as people. Individuals have starting to become open minded, so many things are being accepted that would be forbidden 100 years ago! because people are starting to see meaning, have love and respect for eachother, even strangers , Finally, the people will see through the cracks in the collapsing coliseum that the older generations have created, and people will see their true power. together, not apart will great things happen. For life, well- the meaning of life is to give your life meaning :) do something that means something. Forget about fame, money, status and dont do it to be remembered, do it because it gives your life a purpose.
