  1. By "haters", you mean people with more negative than positive emotions who cannot be altruistic? I don't think you can say that the state of the world is as it is because of them,it sounds too black and white or too much of a simplification or inadequate as an argument for me.

    The state of the world is an outcome of our properties as human beings,and of the way humans and human societies interact with each other and with their environment.It's complex chemistry but I would suppose it could be broken down to a certain number of basic things though.


  2. Only through a glass darkly.

    We might consider where we came from to see where we are to day. Marriage, which began in crude coercion, is gradually evolving into a magnificent institution of self-culture, self-control, self-expression, and self-perpetuation.

    Modern methods of transport and communication. Past wars strengthened nations, but modern struggles disrupt civilized culture. Ancient warfare resulted in the decimation of inferior peoples; the net result of modern conflict is the selective destruction of the best human stocks. Early wars promoted organization and efficiency, but these have now become the aims of modern industry. During past ages war was a social ferment which pushed civilization forward; this result is now better attained by ambition and invention. Ancient warfare supported the concept of a God of battles, but modern man has been told that God is love. War has served many valuable purposes in the past, it has been an indispensable scaffolding in the building of civilization, but it is rapidly becoming culturally bankrupt--incapable of producing dividends of social gain in any way commensurate with the terrible losses attendant upon its invocation.

    The greatest twentieth-century influences contributing to the furtherance of civilization and the advancement of culture are the marked increase in world travel and the unparalleled improvements in methods of communication. But the improvement in education has not kept pace with the expanding social structure; neither has the modern appreciation of ethics developed in correspondence with growth along more purely intellectual and scientific lines. And modern civilization is at a standstill in spiritual development and the safeguarding of the home institution.

    Modern religion finds it difficult to adjust its attitude toward the rapidly shifting social changes only because it has permitted itself to become so thoroughly traditionalized, dogmatized, and institutionalized. The religion of living experience finds no difficulty in keeping ahead of all these social developments and economic upheavals, amid which it ever functions as a moral stabilizer, social guide, and spiritual pilot. True religion carries over from one age to another the worth-while culture and that wisdom which is born of the experience of knowing God and striving to be like him.

  3. Humanity is a playful illusion that casts a veil over the true nature of man. We use humanity to separate humans from animals.

    In a time where secularism has become so prevalent, many people have become disillusioned. We've replaced belief with inquiry. If we have primitive urges and, on occasion, cannot control them, how different are we from animals?

    Yes, at times we may show compassion, but aren't we all just cavemen, protecting what we hold dear? We'll do ANYTHING to keep our property safe, even if it means murder.

    I'm not directly attributing this disillusionment to the increasing hostility of our world, but it certainly doesn't help.
