Issues that as a child are still issues as an adult

What we have failed to see, besides the deception and lies, is how covering it all up has actually been worse than one imagined. Nobody speaks up on it. We walk around as if nothing happened, no one did anything wrong. The fact that we sit back and do nothing when we should do something, is (not) done for the same reason we believe in fictional heros. Someone with power will take care of it.

We don't want to suffer the consequences. The true consequence of consciousness leading to feelings of remorse and/or regret. Wrong! There should be no negative feelings in our nature. As human beings we should only act out of kindness, and we must be gentle with caution because we care.

We're smart enough to play dumb, and called dumb when we are smart enough to speak up. We don't have the right answer that makes it wrong. There are no wrong answers, just wrong people. There are no right answers either, there is only the right way. We weren't made the wrong way, everything was right.

We have the wrong people doing the wrong thing following life the wrong way with the most wrong ideals of living.

The human race is really more of a rat race. We are moving too fast, towards what? Our demise? We aren't going anywhere any time soon. We are locked in a loop hole if you haven't noticed it yet.

We have been and until we get it right will continue to loop. Leaving what our ancestors have left us: Heartache, pain, suffering, and worse hatred. After centuries of the same deceptions, humans have not evolved. Advanced, yes. Evolved, no.

It isn't fair to those who already know how important love is, and that doing acts of kindness will retract us from looping around. The feeble mind as well as the genius mind understands this concept, yet for some apparent reason, we want to stay in the loop - of what? - this vicious cycle we pretend is life?

Look at how the world has changed. If I should be bold enough to bring God into this, and just for one moment think as he may. I would think he has given up on us. Humans are vicious.

We destroy, kill, hate, and most of all have lost faith.

Faith in each other has diminished. Maybe it's the government, the thought of aliens invading, or maybe we never had any to begin with. Either way things of this world, if I were God, would have no reason worth saving. It's a good thing I'm not God, and I'm wrong about it all. However, our world is cruel because of us.

Take human rights. We have activists who fight for human rights. Why should there be such a thing as fighting for something that is a birthright? We have a right to breathe, yet people are being killed everyday. Birth is also a right being taken during abortion.

Take racism. How could we all claim to be American when most of our ancestors aren't American themselves. Yet, we fight to be an American. Then there are those who try to keep or send other non-Americans away. Unless, you are third or fourth generation, more likely than not American.

One of the major religions in the world. Priests admitting to molesting children from adults who were molested as children speaking out. Answer me these: if priest are swarn to a life of celibacy, how is the Pope allowing gay priests? Wouldn't you have to be having sex to know if you are gay?

Take children. Everyday thousands of children go missing with no trace. Isn't that what the President did in front of the world at the Mexican-American border? Also, that is what the foster care system has been doing to families. Using and abusing children only to have them grow up and thrown into the streets.

What is there to life that God should save or salvage for that matter? What can we say, per say, the day his wrath is upon us, and have to answer to him? He answers prayers everyday. Will we be able to answer him?

You may say that I am taking things to an extreme. If not for extreme than how else will we understand that all HUMAN BEINGS matter. Once again, we have lost our faith in each other. Instead of love, we teach hate. We destroy what we don't like, know, or even see.

Do we have a chance to save ourselves? That all depends on us. We are all in the world together. We all have problems, and just as well we have solutions. I just hope to one day find all the answers.

I would like to say the answer and the solution to be love, but that would make me sound childish. If I were to say world peace, you'd expect me to be naive. From my perspective, both sound good enough for a better way of living. Not even faith is needed to love or to have peace. That's just the naive child in me.

During a time when we should be uniting, the internet, electronics, AI, machine learning just to name a few of what has our economy booming. "The rise of the machine." Comes to mind. The fact that we have programmed a machine with commands given to it by humans, is absurd. The amount of information it downloads, also information commanded by humans.

Let us agree to a future of machines taking over destroying all human life. Then what? What becomes of the killing machines as far as it being in a desolate planet with nothing else but to wander endlessly? I mean that makes no sense.
