Why are there so many problems in the world?

Dude thats a tough question. My own person belief is based on that of Bill Hicks. The world is in termoil at this point in time because the human race is evolving. That means that everything that attempts to maintain the status quo is beginning to crumble, in favour of new insitutions. However, they are not going without a fight.

Lets just say that its an interesting time and great entertainment for the neutrals ;P

I agree that the world has always had its problems. Humans just don’t get along with eachother. All we really want is stuff for ourselves. Listen to Michael Jackson’s earth song. He’s literally screaming all the problems in that song. :)

The world has always been this way. Most people think that it’s “everyone for themselves” and don’t care about others or what they can do to help eachother out. The world has always been full of hypocrits who will tell people to do one thing and then they turn around and do the opposite. It’s in human nature to be violent, selfish, and treat others like crap. True, heroic people in this world are ones who get past all those natural human instincts and try to help others. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many people like that. History repeats itself constantly, none of this is new. It’s been going on since mankind was first created and it’s not going to stop any time soon. People will always hunger for power, there will always be others in need, and there will always be those people who think of only themselves and dwell in the negative things on this world. Just focus on positive thing sand positive people and you’ll be helping to stop this endless cycle of war, hate, anger, and violence that comes so naturally to human beings.
