A hard life, builds great character if you take the opportunity to unitize to grow, or you can let it defeat you and crumble. This doesn't mean you won't crumble, but nor does it mean you will grow.

things like google only give you the illusion that information is at your fingertips

2019-12-10 12:36:32 UTC  

Our whole society is materialistic

2019-12-10 12:36:38 UTC  

really, things like google are pisspoor sources of information

2019-12-10 12:36:39 UTC  

Unfortunately

2019-12-10 12:36:42 UTC  

books are much more extensive

2019-12-10 12:36:44 UTC  

That's why it's crumbling

2019-12-10 12:36:52 UTC  

Society is a pretty broad statement...

2019-12-10 12:37:17 UTC  

Despite economically improving suicide rates keep rising

2019-12-10 12:37:29 UTC  

That's what you get when you "kill" God

2019-12-10 12:37:31 UTC  

Like, are you talking about the entire world? a specific friend group? Lol.

2019-12-10 12:37:31 UTC  

GG @proportion, you just advanced to level 3!

2019-12-10 12:37:44 UTC  

You know what i’m talking about

2019-12-10 12:37:45 UTC  

this is only going to lead to a mass die off

2019-12-10 12:37:47 UTC  

Western society

2019-12-10 12:37:48 UTC  

one way or another

2019-12-10 12:37:59 UTC  

Well, I'm in the East...

2019-12-10 12:38:10 UTC  

Well, Western can be a lot of different things..

2019-12-10 12:38:18 UTC  

Okay i’m done

2019-12-10 12:38:25 UTC  

Like, US? Gobal Western?

2019-12-10 12:38:33 UTC  

MOST society’s are materialistic

2019-12-10 12:38:48 UTC  

Wasn't always like that

2019-12-10 12:38:53 UTC  

<:peepobad:538084182644228112>

2019-12-10 12:39:03 UTC  

Hold on what time are you talking about?

2019-12-10 12:39:12 UTC  

Well, we advance, and become comfortable.

2019-12-10 12:39:23 UTC  

Prior to the nihilists, they started in mids 1800s

2019-12-10 12:39:30 UTC  

And grew from there on

2019-12-10 12:39:37 UTC  

Ehm

2019-12-10 12:39:44 UTC  

It wasn’t all that great before that

2019-12-10 12:39:50 UTC  

It was actually

2019-12-10 12:39:53 UTC  

For anyone but like 1% of people

2019-12-10 12:39:59 UTC  

It hasn't been a completely bad thing, but nor a completely a good thing, either. We would need to look deeper to find the pros and cons.

2019-12-10 12:40:07 UTC  

People were content with their religion

2019-12-10 12:40:14 UTC  

And suicide wasn't as bad as it is now

2019-12-10 12:40:20 UTC  

People actually found a purpose

2019-12-10 12:40:23 UTC  

They didn’t have time to think about that

2019-12-10 12:40:32 UTC  

Maybe that's our problem

2019-12-10 12:40:36 UTC  

Too much free time

2019-12-10 12:40:41 UTC  

Religion was made up to control the masses

2019-12-10 12:40:47 UTC  

Nonetheless it decreases our happiness
