2/ This is so true. Because of the media, we are constantly bombarded with negativity. The reality is the world is getting better by most metrics. Yet, the focus is only upon what the media wants to stress which is negative.
3/ The world is improving by most metrics but the majority have a negative view of things due mostly to the misleading of the media. The reality is that the average person has more than the wealthy had a century ago.
4/ So what do people do? They complain. They look at someone else who has "more" and are envious. People want the lavish cars, homes, and whatever, not realizing that 300 yrs ago, most of the population was starving.
5/ This feeds into consumerism, something that corporations love. People's inability to control their emotions creates "retal therapy" where people spend money on things trying to find happiness.
6/ Of course, this only feeds the desire for more. That hold never can be fulfilled. There is always something newer, bigger, and more expensive. Unless you are at the top of the billionaire list, there will always be someone with more.
7/ We see it on Hive and throughout the internet. People bitching because someone has more. In fact, people want to take it away. The fact that people are creating entirely new forms of wealth for everyone, few can see it.
8/ The smartphone made computing cheap for most everyone. A $25 or $50 phone has more processing than what NASA had 50 years ago. It also provides access to all of humanity's info. Do people appreciate this?
8/ This is the true cancer of society. We have people who are conditioned to want so much they are mentally ill. These people do not produce but just want to take. Unfortunately, they are always upset and angry because they never get it.
Well I think there are people who never wants others to be bigger than them, but in reality, like you've said. Unless one is on top of tnr world's wealthiest list, there'll always one who has more. It's an aspect of reality we can't change

Indeed! It's true
HM! this is strong. I agree with you man. It is envy that brings about the greed
I think greed and envy go hand in hand feeding on each other. The solution is for us to go within ourselves and find inner peace & completeness.
