all of this is sad of course. but what lots of people don't seem to understand is that action(i.e. change, efficiency, freedom, revenge/retaliate, technology, etc) are causes that's been snow balling for centuries. and the result are effects that will leads us all to our doom. the mundane will get attach to specific circumstances(current events); gets emotional and maybe find justification/cause(freedom, patriotism, etc.) for more action. the wise will ignore the mundane and look for the solution to the root cause. the solution is simple: nothing(do nothing). but the causes and effects are so large now that its harder and harder to do nothing. people tend to want more, to do better, cut in line, get richer, etc. not alot are humble. seem like we're gonna need a divine intervention to give us a mixture of solution(dictatorship, socialism, communism, democracy, religion, etc.) that is a compromise but at the same time bind us together.
