You first.


I don't pretend to be a philosopher or for it to be a philosophy.
People are the cause of everything, be it good or bad.
But this 'good' and 'bad' only concern and include people. Nothing else.

Neither do I pretent to be a saint.
I live for my own comfort and for the ones I care about.

What we do goes against nature. We artificially ruin the planet.
How's that for an achivement?

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

i personally think the problem is humans lying to each other, disrespecting each other, violating each other, killing each other, prejudgment, and like noobsrus said, humanity listens to the media and is too easily convinced by what others tell them, instead of trying to inform them selves on what the reality is.

WE ALL NEED TO LOVE AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER!!!!!
THIS WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING

i mean technically when man was put on this earth there wasn't no set of rules in which to identify what is good or what is bad, and even if there was (10 commandment believers) we have no proof. so no one necassarily told us what was good and what was bad, which makes everything appear innocent, in one deffense.
but than man started creating his own rules, and so we carry these rules down from generation to generation, telling each other this is the way things are supposed to go.
the number one influence on people is your parents/family. they taught you how to walk, how to talk and whether you realize it or not the ones that raised you influence the way you think.
than follows friends, education and media influence your behavior.
so believe it or not, we are a product of our environment. so my point is that humans act upon the way they think, in which we have our influences from previous generations that just keeps being fed into our brains.
subconsciously or conscientiously.
but as time moves forward we start to realize the damage that takes place when something is done in a certain way, and so we get technical and more advanced.
now if our family tells us, next time that bully picks on you, kick his ass! and we do it, subconsciencously we are developing the happit of revenge instead of finding a more civilized way of handling things. so as far as we know, its GOOD moral to hit the bully back. but from the other side of the table, the bully is thinking picking on a weakling will give him more respect, so in his idea (taught to him by his social environment) its in GOOD moral to bully in the first place.

my point is, we all have our own set beliefs of what GOOD moral is.
but time has also proven to us what the cause and effect of actions turn out to be, so there for we keep coming up with new ideas of whats good and bad!!!
but if we simply respected and loved everyone, we would teach them to do the same thing and that would be passed down to the next generations and society would be at least a little more friendlier and peaceful than it has been. because this world chooses to LIE, DISRESPECT, KILL, VIOLATE & PREJUDGE to each other. and so we end up all lost in a maze looking for the most convincing route.
so i'll say it again

WE ALL NEED TO LOVE AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER!!!!!
THIS WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING

Ah finally someone agrees with me and is not giving some hypocritical Utopian answer

Everyone here is answering like they're trying to win some nobel peace prize. You say people are destroying the world in their conquest for knowledge and technological advancement. Then why don't you stop using electricity get off the internet, get off your computer, don't watch t.v, don't use your mp3, don't write in or read books ( save the trees), don't live in your house that's standing in the way of nature. Go be a vegetarian and not kill animals, as a matter of fact leave the plants that are helping you to breathe and are curing your illnesses. Don't eat or use them either.

All you people can do is criticize and not do anything. How about your start with yourselves because your all are selfish, inconsiderate, wicked and cruel at some point of each day.

No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

I wanted to say that in my first post, but couldn't get the words out. But you're right. In order to live the (more or less) comfortable lives we have, there must be some type of sacrifice. That's just how the world goes

________________

the taxing system in america(heard this in senior year a few years ago if it has changed then ignore this)as everyone knows taxes get taken out of your paycheck, and their is a system that takes out the appropriate amount per your pay grade. HOWEVER at a certain point it stops and people who make a larger amount of money only have to pay the highest limit (hope people understand this) so in my mind if they changed that and made new limits maybe it could help the economy. Once again I heard this in a class a few years ago from a teacher it may have changed I'm not sure one thing I do know is i'm not against rich people giving up more of their money.

So your answer is... either apathy or self-destruction?

Wrong and right are merely perspective based upon the morals planted within us at a young age from society or parents. However, if i must say something is wrong with today it would be how morally driven our society has become.

For example: Cannibalism is morally wrong, but why? Is it wrong because you knew them? Let's say you didn't know them is it now alright? Is it wrong because they were human? Assuming they weren't sick it makes perfect sense doesn't it? Cannibalism could reduce space issues for burying dead and it's just like eating any other meat i would imagine.

There are many religions and to a degree you could say morals are in and of themselves a kind of religion. Faith without reason. People should question their beliefs more often.

Neither. Those options are way too extreme. I'm just saying that I wouldn't want to drastically change the world. Of course, I'll donate to charity and help anyone I feel is deserving of it, but in the bigger picture, the world is supposed to have problems.

The only problem I have strong feeling for though, is over population. One reason why I'm okay with wars is because I'm fine with people dying. If no one was dying the whole world would just plummet into mass chaos. And by saying I'm okay with it, I mean it. If my mom died or my best friend, I would cry, but I would not change it.

I see.

Must have been imagining the false dilemma here. O_O

What's wrong with this world?

Nothing and everything.

Nothing because it is just the way it is, right or wrong who can tell them apart? You? GOD? If GOD does really exist. Who can say i'm right? Who can say i'm wrong? Based on what? Who gives you that power? We live the way we live now, some may against it some may bless it, but in the end it is just the way it is and like it or not we DO live that way....

Everything because there is no such thing as order and absolute truth. Order is simply an illusion we created to justify our own values that we want to justify as a truth and valid value in the community we live at.
The truth is we are half beast half sentient creature, regardless of your personality we would never achieve what we call true peace, that just not how we are. We are unique, we are selfish, we are egoistic, we only wants to live the way we think it's true, so it is in our true nature that we would only do something that we think could benefit us, no person will do anything because he/she felt it's wrong unless someone put a gun on that person head, you do it because you want/need/depends on it to make your live better in any way. Why would we sometimes follows our logic and not our instinct and why do we sometimes ignore our logic and instead trust our instinct? We(humans) are not as civilized as we claim we are, we are just human with all of our weaknesses and strengths .

If you want everything to be right than human and all living thing must stop to exist, why? Because life is chaos and not order, it's full with possibilities and chances, and none of it obey the thing we call truth, every single living cell in this world has only one goal that is to stay alive and ensure the survival of their species regardless of their sizes and power and it(life) will do anything in it's power to keep living, regardless of the thing we call truth....

Another thing (somewhat) wrong with the world,

People who take forum threads (on a manga site, of all places) way too seriously.

You/someone ask the question? I only answer with honesty if you don't like my answer don't complain, instead just read another thread. Obviously with the title like this only people with somewhat rather big curiosity will read and respond. If it is too heavy for you go read another section. No disrespect to you G-17 but it's live cope with it, deal with it, accept it.

Nothing will always go your way, unless that world is happen to be your own world, which neither of us had, one world, millions of humans, share it.

Lastly my apologies if i offended anyone with anyway in my post didn't mean it. It's just my way of seeing this cold but blazing world.

Haha, no, anyone here claiming a peace prize with their answers to what's wrong with the world should be shot.

This is a discussion about "what is wrong with the world today," if you didn't expect it to dissolve into some philosophical debate with egos against egos then maybe you should avoid clicking those topics that deal with sensitive issues in the future.
