Humanity VS "Success"

[Brutus]

Which is more important and which will make you happy?
Which does your country support?
What is realistic?
Is the "real world" real?

I know these are quite ambiguous questions but... think about them, that's all I'm sayin'.

Not sure if im really getting this. But you seem to be under the impression that humanity is more important to a human than success is.

to be honest I would love both, but in this world money is now power and it is most likely be chosen as success.
With money your able to obtain most of your desires, even to help others.
My country supports both, but fail to see the truth of the matter like most countries do.
The real world is hardship's,useless matter of life and death to reproduce and simply to die off, to be truly successful is only in the minds of the beholder, what they do with their lives are upon them, either to become successful to help others, or use for selfish reasons.
in my opinion

in america i feel like the pursuit of happiness is just that, and not achievable through financial success. true you may want to support and be well off for your family but at what price? did you know we supposedly work more than any other country? i just feel like my generation can feel me on this one, i talk to older people and they just keep telling me to be competitive and keep going for money through education, work, hustling, whatever really needs to be done, i keep getting told that money will make me happy... i just feel like it's sad that some people from the older generation feel this and never really achieve happiness... for instance, my moms bf has worked all his life but he just gave up a few weeks back on his entire life because he didn't feel like anything was real... like i said, this is just my opinion...

Which is more important and which will make you happy?
You're suppose to be happy no matter the cause.
Which does your country support?
Power.
What is realistic?
If few are than I am one, but that is what they all say. If not, than I nor nothing is real anymore. You have the government lying, people being secretly killed, wars going on for no bloody reason except money and power, racism going on, implausible accusations of the judicial system, people dying of diseases, no water, no food, but we spend all our damn money on war, we have cigarettes and alcohol legal, but marijuana is just to much ya' know. As well with Acid. Our rights of an American are basically going to shit.
Is the "real world" real?
If the world is real, why are their so many hectic people running us like puppets?

I don't really know how to explain it without verbally speaking, you know.

have you ever heard of something called a boomerang child? it basically means that when you go out into the "real world" that you cannot accept what you see as fact so go home to what you know, living with your family and being part of a community again. this is a phenomenon that occurs with 42% of all kids in america(2010 study), and usually they stay for at least 4 years. to me this says that these children are unable to be financially independent because their parents have treated them like humans, taught them to be part of a community, and that simply is not what the real world is. so to "grow up" is simply to conform to a broken system. this is why im in a dark place right now, not because im unhappy with myself, but instead the "real world". it's not a matter of working or trying, it's a matter of what is just and what human kind deserves as simply accepting ourselves for what we are; not having the opportunity to achieve happiness through power or control over things that make us "happy". ei. objects; objectifying people into what they seem to be. adults can only fool themselves in my eyes.


anyways, this is not an argument towards anyone, just a continued rant as i was replying to reptar, so i decided to post it here simply for opinion.

Hey James!

I don't quite understand what you're asking. When you say humanity, do you mean that we have high regards towards others? And when you say success, does it mean having an abundance of friends, or having lots of money.


If these definitions are what you imply, than it is to my belief that humanity overcomes success by a long shot. If you have the proper principle in mind and you are respected just as you respect others, it surpasses money. Money cannot buy respect, it can only fake it.

And James, when did you become so DEEP?

im mainly just biching tbh xD in california we're supposedly very progressive as far as financial success goes, a lot of parents are immigrants so they push their kids hard to be successful financially but create what's i call an "i must" syndrome, which will directly make them more stressed in everyday life and attempt to survive in a failed system. im basically trying to show peepz that our government in america, was doomed from the start, it works like any economy on most games. an open economy with the purpose of proposing opportunity, but when the oldgens have a monopoly on everything, what can you do but buy and sell small items until you have the possibility of getting lucky one day by overpricing something of low value? sure you can get degrees and all of this, but our country idolizes material objects as happiness because we think by making things easier on ourselves, we're able to live however we choose. even children you can look at as "alt's" to be funded by the prior. but stratification goes beyond that, it changes people's belief system to become part of the failed government so you would never even notice it. anyways, i sound crazy, so ill stop xD
