The world as we know it...
As I read a lot of these blog entries I see many good points being made about the state of the world as a whole. Cultures that kill people on a whim or over different beliefs, skin color, religion, jealousy, or perhaps even boredom. Animals being tortured before they are slaughtered -or- hunted down for their ivory tusks and after their tusks are removed, left to die. We steer clear of strangers as they walk by out of fear for what they might do to us . We worry about ourselves and ignore people we see that are less fortunate than us and that could use our help. How did we get here? How did music that promotes sexist acts, murder, drugs, and promiscuous sex become so popular? How did partial nudity, cursing, murder, and adultery become so popular in mainstream television? Who decided that war was the best way to resolve conflict? Why do we spend billions of dollars on weapons research instead of putting more money towards finding cures and solutions to diseases and things that cause horrible deaths? Why do we wait to act until it is almost too late?

Excellent questions.
There are several things going on in society today that humans do for their own selfish motives. It is humans who prefer to live amongst differences of culture, race,skin color,religion and other standards instead of living with compassion, mercy, integrity and love. We, humans tend to look at people doing better than us and strive to reach upto to their level but forget the less fortunate people who need a hand of support, because we want ourselves looking better than the others (our selfish motive again).
Adultery, partial nudity, murder, cursing are the themes people enjoy watching on television.
People know that there are alternative solutions to conflicts but they choose war as it the immediate and effective way of acting towards a problem.
People now are spending billions of dollars on researches of weapons instead of medical cures as killing lives is more important to them then saving some.
It seems like a problem that we all suffer at some point, its about "I" or "me". "What I want?" "What I like?" People today are more self-centered rather than caring about the growing world around them.
