Humans like to complain about how things are in the world but they will NEVER take action to change the way things are. They just sit around and wait for some paid-off politician to change things and then act surprised when all the made promises end up unfulfilled. You would think that by now humans would have learned their lesson because every 4 years it's the same goddamn crap over and over again but NO. No lessons learned, no wisdom acquired, no higher thought - NOTHING.
I've found that the majority of humans beings are incredibly selfish which leads to the unjust destruction of the planet and other species within the planet. Their goals are short-termed and usually, the consequences of acquiring said goals are not considered. Say for example, that an average human wants to eat some chips. He'll go to the supermarket by car, pollute the air while doing so and then he will most likely throw the garbage outside the window. Not all people do that but a good percentage of them do. That action alone shows incredible selfishness - an incapability of considering anyone (or anything) else other than your own self. And it is no surprise that we are facing a global warming crisis.
I find the majority of people extremely shallow and it's enough to open up TikTok to get an idea. I've never wanted to bad mouth my own species like that but I am so disappointed - it's unbelievable. The majority of people are so highly focused on how they look that they actually forget to develop true qualities - like, who they are on the inside. Sometimes, this focus on one's external appearance can turn into straight-up mental illness. People develop EDs and even opt for plastic surgery. I feel like in our society, what is celebrated is not authenticity - not physical authenticity, nor inner authenticity. For example, many of our most famous celebrities wouldn't be where they are if they hadn't dabbled in plastic surgery. In a sense - society is praising the most fake people for all the wrong reasons. And yet, real people are constantly being put down.
It really bothers me how the main accepted goal in life is to be materialistically rich. How people boast with their material possessions without even considering what impact these items have on the environment. And then, of course, once they're done with said item it just gets thrown in the trash to make room for MORE trash.
Like, how did things get so bad?
