Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
I’m not saying it’s excusable for people to talk the way they do online, but you can’t base societal issues with people that only type the garbage verses the way a person actually acts in public. What I’m saying is that it is simply irrelevant what people say online. Mostly everyone I come across in public are very nice. That’s why I try to be nice and lead by example. And out of the 8 billion people, look at how very little and just a super minor of a fraction of it is put on a pedestal and amplified in the media. It really Is just a small amount making life difficult for others. That’s just how I feel. And there are others like me. And others like you. I have just realized that online life and real life really are 2 different categories
 Quoting: Itoaditso


I dont think its excusable to simply think that someone can be online acting like a fool, talking trash, viewing trash and acting like something or someone they are not, and then in the real world acting and being the nicest and most polite person that youd ever think you saw.

Its unacceptable for people to simply hide behind computer screens behaving like complete fools, and to think that they are excused from Life because no one really knows who they are or cares.

If someone has the nerve to pretend and to create issues for themselves and others online and act like a saint in public and has no issue, they are lacking either a conscience or a Soul. I hate to say it but its unacceptable. You simply can not hide from Reality by using the computer screen as a face mask and expect no consequences.

You’re 100% right. But that’s exactly what goes on. It’s sad but that’s how the majority of it seems to be working. And the reason I have hope is I think most sensible people will drop out of these hate forums online and get back to a caring life. I just like to think we have hope, and the cure is love, and it will win again. At least I hope so, I’m speaking from someone invested in the future and I’d like to think its all going to be okay

Way to lose hope OP! Most are mind controlled and a shift ( aka awakening) is happening. I find this post to be false. I still hold doors open for people get thanked. And people still hold the door for me and I thank them.I don’t see this hate besides online, and 95% of the people who trash talk online never talk like that to actual people. It’s all physiological projection. If you can’t find this kinda people, then maybe look for new people. And stop bringing the people that are hopeful down.
 Quoting: Itoaditso


I don't doubt that you hold doors open for people, I really don't. I don't doubt that you may even be a great person. However, it always comes back to the numbers. There are literally nearly 8 billion people on this planet. How many of those 8 billion hold doors open for others? The problem is that one cannot simply only point out the "decent" people on this planet as a means to somehow dismiss the majority of people who don't show the same decency and civility. You have got to look at the aggregate when it comes to evaluating a society or the human race, in general.

In regards to people not "trash talking" in person the way that they do online, how is that remotely excusable? They're still the one's typing the hateful rhetoric. If they don't do so offline, merely because of fear of consequence, that's hardly a defense or the definition of a decent person.

Again, we're not talking about who's a murderer or not. I'm simply saying that most people (ie the majority) are typically rather rude and are too self absorbed within their bubble. That's really what my post was about. Someone else had mentioned that the only time that society shows any decency en masse, is during or after a tragedy. As for me personally, there's hope. My hope my not align with yours, but that's ok.

Also, your decency shows, as you didn't resort to name calling, so thank you for that.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


I guess most people are decent.. i have always found that to be so. When I have had car accidents people rush to help and are very concerned about my well fare. I live ina relatively small city called Perth in West Australia. I have lived overseas in big cities and strangely everyone goes abut their business in an orderly fashion and if you smile they will smile back. People who have a job and somewhere to live are generally law abiding and keep a civilized society running in a lawful way. However just viewed a powerful video on GLP re San Francisco and the homeless and ruined streets that visitors are warned to avoid because of needles, filth and faeces everywhere. People give these homeless people money, food, and so they are able to continue shooting up and living like subhumans. I see our small and beautiful little city becoming a bit run down these days too and the homeless are beginning to appear on our streets as well. . But there is not a big problem yet. Drugs are at the root of societies beginning collapse IMO. DRUGS (including alcohol) start the person on the loss of ambition. The drugged have no will and just want to lie around. To become sober is an act of will. There is an organization here i W.A privately run by a male . He uses tough love. It is very strict . But the men claim it saved their lives. After completing the in- care programme they given jobs or job openings and followed up. It has been hugely successsful. Men re unite with families and get back self esteem. The video I watched seems to be pelting these young able males who it is claimed choose the life-style and could work .. by castigating them and calling them lazy. I claim it is the substance abuse that alters their whole make-up. I have had personal experience with alcoholism and am not just shooting off my mouth.
I'm a long time reader and contributor to GLP. Love to delve into the issues presented there. Have made many friends.

Just when all seems lost, hope emerges.

I totally get it and the way it is all explained. But let need assure you there’s people doing good work down in inner cities. I was saved in one. And it’s not about saving everyone, it’s about save that one that wants to change. I was at a dead end road and if I didn’t change, i would be dead or in prison. I met some angels that showed me love and gave me a second chance.
Since then I’ve cleaned up got a career and brought in 2 new lives into this world. It’s our job to show the love of god and not to judge. We’re in tough times where the evil in the world is doing its best to stop that love from flowing. That’s my opinion, if I could sum it up in a few words, hate the sin, not the sinner

I'm sort of surprised by the number of people basing their opinion of this thread on OP's karma and not the content of the post. It reminds me of the social credit score bs in China. March lock-step with the state, points for you. Question something/call something out...take away your points. Lose enough points, lose access to services.

Or they film themselves "listening" on their social media to project how "refined and open minded" they are.

Well done. So pleased to hear your story. There are always two sides to every story and you posted the positive side... I think that your experience should be spread around to give those who have lost hope a new understanding. Help is available . You have to want it that is the bottom line. Yes couldn't agree more.

Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
The fact of the matter is that there isn’t a respectable intellectual on this planet - and I’m talking about true intellectuals - someone equivalent to Huxley, Leary, Sheldrake, McKenna, Mencken, etc....... who could tell you with a single ounce of honesty that “things are getting better”.

In fact, they all agree that we’re in complete decline. This truth is of the purest form and totally self-evident.

OP, rather than a shill who is here to cause ruckus or incite arguments, seems to realize that we’re indeed, VERY far up shit creek without a paddle. The reasons for this need not be explained.

Back to the intellectual aspect of this.. How do we handle these situations of clear and definite demise? We talk about them, as intellectual adults with some sort of unique input or insight. It doesn’t mean we must point fingers or blame any party, it means we discuss solutions, or a lack of solutions, or that we discuss where it all went wrong.

Whether OP came off as a self-righteous prick or not is irrelevant. I don’t believe that was his intention. Maybe he was having a bad day and wanted to discuss this social decay as a way to release the pent up frustration caused by living in a society that’s spiraling into a complete dystopian idiocracy. It does not matter.

What does matter is that his point was proven not by him but by the patrons of this thread, who lack the intellect to create open and at least semi-polite conversation and at worst case, friendly debate among open-minded thinkers.

I’d be delighted to enter into discussion about the original post but clearly this thread has been ground into dust by a lackluster crowd of simpletons who really shouldn’t have bothered to make comments in the first place.

Thread destroyed by a dying society who is so deeply in denial they defend the death of it up until their own death. It is sick, twisted, and amazing just how effective the grand method of indoctrination set into play by the establishment really is. Hence, here we are and this whole thread speaks volumes about the victors and the victims.

99.9% are slaves to the ideals of others, while believing they’re free and thinking for themselves. If that’s a flourishing society, I want no part of it.
