Use that big brain o' yours to figure out a way to make those fighting sides see sense. Woeler, I love having you here. You're unreal at understanding and articulating problems in society, the world and even human nature. Your intelligence literally blows me away. But is being cold and calculating and sarcastic conducive to actually solving things? Seems to me like if anything will fix what's wrong the world, it's a bit more compassion and empathy and a bit less coldness. I guess that's just me though.
There is no universal "wrong" and "right", there is no universal "problem". What other people see as a plague, may be viewed by someone else as a blessing. There is no ultimate solution, because, we, humans have become far to different from each other. Our cultures, ways of life and yes A LOT OF religion have separated us as a species.
Try and make the following people agree:
An all cared for European, very high political freedoms. Pays a lot of taxes
A warhungry church supporting american republican. Doesnt want taxes
A liberal american.
A poor african.
A middle-eastern jihadist.
An asian factory manager.
We have become far too different from each other. There is simply no way we could ever be united again.
We can not solve this problem because nobody agrees on what the problem is and how we should handle it, heck some even deny there is a problem at all.
Loved the bold part btw. You know I am not the only one.
It's not cowardly to not call someone an idiot. People aren't tactful or polite just because it's nice. They do it because they've got an ounce of humility. 'Cause they know that they will make mistakes. They know that their actions have consequences. And they know that those consequences are their fault. Why do you want so bad not to be human, House?
1. I have nothing to lose
2. Not being realistic is the biggest killer on this planet
3. I don't care
4. Humans are stupid
5. Stupidity can not be tolerated. It destroys, it kills and it blows stuff up (or flies planes into buildings)
