I don't agree with everything he says, but I know many members do. However, I always felt that this country was ruled by selfishness; particularly my parent's generation of the Boomers and the materialism and greed they seem to have. It's like a disturbing feeling that they love their things more than their own kids... or anyone else. It's extremely shortsighted, and a disgusting feeling to be around.
I always felt that they raised their kids...they were so selfishness, entitled and self absorbed that it left a disturbing feeling in the kids around. That is hard to explain - but it was sort of like a signal and feeling to kids that their parents weren't really there, at all to provide security; it triggered a fight or flight feeling; that's at least how I feel.
That could happen with that circumstance.
We just have to do the best that we can with what we have, and hope those around us were not too thick to not be able to hear us or be amenable to change.
I'm not in a good spot, because these feelings don't produce motivation in me. A disgust for their behavior has left an aversion to greed and ...anything to do with work, that's how it is. And, that's really bad. I'm not sure what to do about it. The self entitled baby boomers, and they are so self-interested and selfish, greedy, absorbed.....MORE than any other group, are directly responsible for the mess in this world today. They are the ones occupying offices and government, they are shills and will do anything for self-interest. They all have this smug, self-entitled, greedy appearance....too self absorbed to care or bother - and get mad when you try to get them to be human, they are worthless turds....who spawned a generation of narcissists who didn't receive enough 'love' from parents.
I wish we had closer family ties, closer community - less problems and people cared more about outside their immediate sphere or 'addictions', we wouldn't be so addled with problems, then.
Misery and happiness are only states of mind.
