Not the petty economic ones, the greed based ones that are largely irrelevant to our basic survival and growth. We should be trying to better ourselves as a species, to maximize what we can gain from this planet, and work together to solve the problems at hand in the world. What is the goal we are going for? We obviously don't have one. We fight towards this Westernized idea that we have something to gain by being on top, and the constant competition is necessary to ensure our place as the biggest douches on the planet. We expend people and huge amounts of money on military growth, trying to protect what is ours, all the while fucking with this planet like it's a game that will be refreshed when we're done with it. Why are we even doing this? All this conflict doesn't get us anywhere. We are all getting in fits over the most pointless problems, created out of greed, and fostered by the notion that more is better. Disagreements over the most petty things cause the biggest turmoil, and it's in that that I get frustrated. We fight over resources, and kill because we aren't getting our way. Why bother? Corporations and world leaders today are always wanting more, it's always a constant power struggle. But back to the idea that you'd be on top. If you have what people want, they will tend to obey you, because they feel lesser.
Number one what? Asshole? Yeah, I get that you can ease into a fairly comfortable life through money, and yes, it will give you some amount of power. We are all so obsessed with money, with power, and the notion that having one, and thus the other, will put us on top of some podium, and somehow solidify ourselves as number one. There's something about the world we live in, about the way we go about building this civilization, that bothers me.
