The problem

Well, as usual I can't sleep again, and I suddenly have this offensive topic which I have just decided oh what the hell, I'll just post it anyway...

(Be warned strong language will be used, however it has no direct intentions and it being used just as a comparison)

What is the problem with us? What is the problem with the world today?
Seriously, if any is going "is there a problem?" you are either delusional or just plan stupid. If somebody decides to go "it depends on how to define problem", than seriously, don't read on, cause its as good as saying, "I can't win this argument on your grounds, thus I shall re-define on my grounds so I stand a better chance.".....piss off....

So what is the problem? Could it be original sin? Well, some might just agree for it to be original sin, now I would like to suggest a different way of looking at it. Is it really original sin? or is it our failure to recognize/admit to original sin?
Can the human race be more proud of ourselves? It is rather obvious I stand for the latter. Yet I can't believe it, can humankind really be more proud?
We would never admit to original sin, simply because we are sore losers to begin with, we feel we cannot be criticized and we feel we are just simply too good to go wrong.

What is the message the world is selling us today? We cannot be weak, we cannot give up, we must fight all the way...apparently this "never say die" attitude has been getting us in to more trouble than we think. It makes us too stubborn to admit defeat to sin, it makes us too stubborn to say I was wrong. It makes us ask the give excuses like "But I am not that bad", "It was your fault to begin with.", "You made me do it". Isn't it strange people believe that someone can make them feel anger, but never believe someone can make them feel loved?

We are too stubborn to lose, every time we lose, we blame somebody else, we never look at ourselves, have we been too sensitive in this case? did I fail to understand that person? did I fail to take account of the hurt I caused this person? It is true we are sore losers, more evidently shown in the later generations, I am very sure the generation above mine would say this to my generation and the next to the next. Have anybody ever thought about the question "So how are the new recruits/students/employees?" Our answer would usually be "They are hopeless." Guess what? our seniors used to think that of us as well.

Which brings me to my second point, we cannot be criticized, and we are too proud to be criticized. Ever so eager to accept praise, never ever willing to listen to criticism. Every time we get criticized we aspect someone to comfort us, we aspect an apology. But first are we willing to reach down and comfort somebody? Are we willing to apologies first? And even when you are being apologized to are you gloating? Or are you thinking "I did something wrong as well."? Just a short survey, How many people actually like others pointing out their flaws? I know I don't. Do you?

Somehow or rather human beings are ever so eager to humiliate one another, the moment we get a chance to bring down another person we will cease the opportunity. Why so? Because it means we are stronger, it means we are better, it means we have defeated them. And even then we try to do it gracefully, sarcasm, in-direct insults...etc. However if I may just ask, what is the difference from say "Shit" as compared to saying "F***" when the intentions are the same? We are still cursing someone. Does being graceful set us apart when we are still bringing down another human being?

How proud can the world be? Can we ever admit to defeat? Can we ever admit the problem is us? Can we accept criticism? Can we admit that we have lost?

How much has the world fallen? Seriously how much?
