My World Issue

The main cause worth fighting?

World Stupidity. Collective stupidity, which breeds fear, violence, and apathy, is the main cause of almost all the shit I think needs to change with the world. To gain self-knowledge is to gain knowledge about how everything else should fit into the world. And if you don't have an understanding of yourself and your values, you are extremely susceptible to someone else convincing you to just follow them, to buy into someone else's dupe. The people in control don't want to change (why would they, they're in control?) and the people who aren't have been convinced that someone else is supposed to be taking care of stuff. And the people who acknowledge this situation either turn away in disgust or respond with violence. The number of people I know who deeply care but expect someone else to do something about it while they sit at home and complain staggers me. Instead of doing something, people sit down at a computer and write some stupid blog. whoops/.
