Answer 1

happy is right.

lol

humans are the most selfish being on this planet.

no one cares anymore.

and as the human race evolves, we become less caring.

people committing crimes are in less danger now.

our economy is c**p.

and it's all because we just stopped caring.

it's sad.

Answer 2

I've recently come to the opinion that perhaps the Earth's biospheric ecology is being degraded by us as a means for the planet (which includes us) to force us to colonize other planets, thereby reproducing the Earth's biosphere. Like all living organisms, the Earth's biosphere needs to reproduce, but the cost of colonizing other planets is very high, so we're not likely to do it just because we can, but only if we must.

Answer 3

Technology and mans view that only their own opinion can be the right one.  

Answer 4

We came up with words, we came up with self, let all those nifty words go, let yourself be itself and stop viewing the thoughts as the self and you will see the great place that was has never left, only we have left it.

Answer 5

I would not look around in dismay, and mourn about the human sorry state, its miserable condition, lementable lot, and neither will I rejoice and be merry, for there indeed is lot to do, and a lot to think before each thing to do. I would instead sit for sometimes, every now and then, and feel the wonder of my being until through the strangeness of it all I would see a friendly face, of familiarity to last for a moment or two. How many strange things I have got myself used to, I cannot remember, and may familiarities engender comforts only few.

What has happen to our world is not what it seems. The world can reform itself many times over, at one place, the Earth; the Earth can rejuvenate itself with simplest ease. I understand that volcanoes belch out more carbon dioxide that all the chimneys of man-made factories of the world. We should not flatter ourselves beyond our own concerns. All that has happen to the world, both in terms of environment and to us as human civilised beings is all that would eventually matter only to us. The nature of the world is sturdy and surprisingly enduring in the face of all sorts of natural disastrous and catastrophes. The Earth has faced mass extinction of its habitants about five times over the past about four billions years, but live has asserted itself back in to form. We are the late comers. And fast learners of the use of all things coming handy we might be, but wise we are not.

We expend and expand beyond the dictates of nature and then find ourselves in perils of our own doing. Will we go all the way through until we hit the peak of the evolutionary potential of the mind, become virtuous all, or live like light in the cosmos, feeding on good thoughts and ideas, are the question that we are here to seek an answer to.

Answer 6

Um... who told you?

The world is an awful place because of the fact that humans are greedy, and power-lusty.  

Answer 7

Man is s******g it up with each passing second of the day. By his greed, his hatred of others for the color of their skin, because of the God they choose to pray to.

Answer 8

Greed, the need for power and religions are the cause of it not being a great world...

Answer 9

Negativity. Get my drift?

Answer 10

Greed and ignorance.
