[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 815485, member: 3774"] just wondering here, isn’t every level of society like you described. I mean in the workplace for example, isn’t everyone looking at life from their perspectives ? There are privledged and downtrodden in the same office. Often times the privileged are so busy promoting themselves they don’t see the downstream effects of their actions on others and often they intentionally place barriers between them and those who are striding to improve, all In an effort to protect their own positions. The downtrodden see the upward trending folks as privileged. They are “yes” people who say yes and then complain behind managements backs and then sell out their coworkers who agree with them. I mean, I think, we see it everywhere. There seems to be a human component to these things and often the result is self inflicted. I know folks who have completely betrayed what could have been true friendships for the sake of getting the advantage in competitive promotions. I’ve never and would never back stab to improve my lot in life. Although It’s not science It’s not really anything special, I believe it’s ethics. The problem really lies in the fact that those among us who don’t seek to live by ethics cause the rest of us to doubt those who truly need help. In dating these people are known as “players”. We learn our empathy and ethics via our experiences and family. When that lesson is negative The human mindset becomes cynical and it is entrenching more and more each day. Its a negative ‘you can only trust yourself‘ society. It’s a what’s in it for me society. Have you ever helped someone and walked away wondering if you just got played ? I have. If you have I suspect it’s been your experience with immoral people who put that defensive/distrustful posture in your mind. Can you really believe their story kinda feeling. If we could separate the wheat from the chaff it would be a lot easier to see those who truly can’t help themselves, until then those in need will be burdened further by the chaff others throw into life.
