Is this world a real rat race or what?

Not at all, far from it. :) Just learn to play smart not hard. Most people are fearful of their security and fearful of this that and the other, always fearful. There is much good to come from creativity, being unorthodox, and always following universal laws of good. If you help people you will be helped, If you learn the rules of a game you will have more freedom to  know what to do and what not to do, what would make things easier and what would make them harder, life is a network it's not what you know it's who you know. If you're afraid obvious you're going to be fearful and make mistakes, being too afraid of losing the little you have, when you could let go and become a knowledgable risk taker, and have much more to gain from that, but the same amount to lose as the person fearful of security. Once you get your systems set up, everything should go as smooth as pie. Systems. As in automated. A person doesn't have to work to make a computer run. It's automated, once you push the button it runs itself with the electricity. I think if you put all this information I just gave together, somehow you will come across the proper equation right for you in this life. Good luck!

Unfortunately, there has always been war, and I have no reason to think that the world will ever be completely free from it.  There has never been complete world peace and I don't think there ever will be.  \n\nI'm not of the doom and gloom mentality, I'm just realistic.  And if you're the least bit religious, then you know that this world is corrupt and total peace will never exist here.

I smell a rat. If you are so succesful then why are you advertising on this forum for free?!?!?\n\nHow much does someone have to invest?!? Where's the hard facts instead of the nicey nicey invites?!?!\n\nPeople deserve more up front. Instead of people like you getting people to attend under duress and then you hit them with the 'hard sale'.\n\nStop preying on the impressionable. \n\nAnd if I'm wrong, why not add an internet link to your companys site so we can all see how good an opportunity this is

I think it is endless. In a country where all the people are the same race there is predjudice. Look at the treatment of women in Africa by African men. Look at the killing in Northern Ireland, the past wars between Native American tribes, the 20 million Russians killed under Stalin's rule, and the killing of Islamics in Iraq by other sects of the same religion. Some people, many people, (not all), just naturally look for a way to put other people down. I have seen a lot of self hate in my own race:(Gang wars in our inner cities). I have had hispanics tell me that other hispanics discriminate against them. I have seen white people put down other white people based on what state they came from. And of course there is the unfair way one whole race is placed in a "box" based on what some people of that race did or how they are portrayed on TV. I pretty much ignore people who are prejudice. I am guilty of some "pre judging" of people that I do not even know as well. I guess that means I am a bit racist too at times. Humans are ALL infected with sin since the time of Adam and Eve.

With massive data bases of information piling up in government and corporate computers as well as security cameras around every corner and on every cell phone, I often get the feeling Big Brother is watching.  However, I feel Huxley's "A Brave New World" is better example of the direction we have been moving as a society.  Everywhere people are seeking their own "Soma" to cover up our social flaws.  We are also pushing closer and closer to his predictions of class and family structures .

This is a form of natural selection. You don't get it right?\nlet me explain. \n\nAll life forms fight to survive. When the competition is high, the fight changes course to "SURVIVAL OVER OTHERS". \n\nNow this coupled with our intelect to manipulate and find loopholes in the system, corruption seems to be obvious. This is more or less an obvious path chosen by not soo eligible ones. It is very sad!!!\n\nAnd coming to killings, it is an aggrevation of the above situation.

No doubt it is competitive world. But, now, any body with a dint of hard work and a little bit of intelligence is able to get a job. It is a question of enterprise and confidence. Gone are the days , when you needed some one to push you into some organisation and get you a job. Things are quite rosy, in the job market, for those who seek jobs.

I personally agree. But try telling that to private war contractors, the defense industry, wall street traders and investors, and big oil executives. This is one messed up world. And greed appears to be the most popular sin. By far. It is no contest. And that is the sole reason for ALL wars. Even wars that appear to be religious or cultural disputes. Money is behind every war.

I believe it is. America is the richest, most successful country the world has ever known. Everyone envies our freedom and way of life. Every third-world country that doesn't understand the value of life, or the contribution that the individual can make, given the freedom to do it, hates our way of life. That's why all of the oil money in the middle east si so scary. Here are people that are barely out of the stone age, with enough money to purchase whatever they want. Including nuclear weapons. \nI think America, and other like-minded democracies around the world are the only salvation for this world. They have the power, and the STABILITY to keep the nut jobs from blowing us all up!

It say its the society. People in developed areas are alot different and dont seem as happy as people in underdeveloped areas in life in general. Rude, cheating, cunning thats the trap of the city life. It will swallow you and spit you out. Hence this is what we end up with today. Eg no family time spent together which results in people cheating and fighting with their parters and family memebers... I can be bothered to talk about it as it is a rather depresing subject. All I know is that Id rather live in the old days where you didnt have these problems as often.

Ehmm...the world is a sad place indeed, if there's a war going on in some part of the world and people are worried about the costs of it....well...I guess monkeys are smarter than us after all....

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

There was a time not so long ago when the future looked promising....end of the cold war, the emergence of people power in harsh regimes, popular culture's role in addressing the world's starving, the advances in science that promised the eradication of disease and poverty, etc.  Now it seems that the "old order" has reasserted itself and the most powerful governments of the world are once again committed to jingoistic warmongering activities that place us all at risk once more.  Unfortunately those human traits that are no longer required but have survived evolution to date (greed, fear, aggression) are still a driving force behind most, if not all of, world politics today.  Strangely enough, everyone knows deep down the correct path to take......just no-one has the guts.
