Feeding a corrupt system (#1015)

We all do it to some degree because we are trapped within it's process. We have been within it's momentum since we were children and escaping it is akin to escaping from ourselves. Or so it seems. As more and more awaken to the inherent problems we face as we continue to feed the system the more and more we are upset and angry by our own culpability. It will eventually get to the point of living with our wrongs or doing something about it despite the material and professional costs we incur. It hits our population in waves with those most vulnerable effected immediately, while those most insulated through wealth are generally the last to realize change of some sort must happen. But like humans have shown throughout history, we will eventually adapt to a better system for our lives and move on but not without the pains of drastic change. The struggle to deny and refuse the inevitable will put great strains on our ability to live together in harmony, as such we do. The tumult we cost others and the price they pay, for the stubborn clinging to selfishness and greed some fight change to retain, will be the measure in history of how difficult it is to evolve from one system to another. It is sad that humanity has not yet been able to live in enlightenment and instead chooses baser human default instincts to define who we are. While we fight to not only improve our stations on this world with progressive honorable principles, we also take great care not to obliterate our own species in the name of arbitrary philosophical beliefs. That we are in a state of being able to obliterate ourselves tells of the psychological disorder our society has created. Our current system has foundational flaws to it and in my mind is not worthy of being a structure that defines who and what humanity is.
