What’s wrong with today’s generation and the society we live in?

Question from the Internet:

“What are the prominent problems of the modern world that make it easier for young people to engage in risky behaviour?”

Human beings are born with an inherently egocentric, self-serving and exploitative nature. This inner nature, they human ego has been developing since the early “hunter-gatherer” days until today, when our selfishness and egoism has reached its maximum potential.

As a result we exist in the most hedonistic, narcissistic and “cancer-like” human civilization ever. Each person wants everything for oneself and wants it immediately. Moreover we openly and unashamedly enjoy succeeding at the expense of others and prove ourselves by controlling, manipulating and exploiting others.

Of course, there are shades and gradations in this but in general, we are all driven by the same nature.

This is why the young generation behaves as they do and this is why we also created a completely aimless, pointless, consumerist world for them, in which they are suffocating.

This is nobody’s fault. So far we are simply, blindly executing our instincts and inherent tendencies. We haven’t reached the point of free choice yet, where we could be held responsible for our actions even if we are on course for total self-destruction.

Our actual, Human free choice starts from the moment we recognize and accept our inherent nature as “evil” and destructive, and we also develop a true need and an irrepressible desire to change and further develop ourselves.

From that moment on — especially if we also start recognizing and using the right, purposeful and practical method of “self-upgrade” we become “free people” that can take their fate and future development into their own hands.
