    How would you note the collective behavior of the world around you?

    What path is the world on according to you?

    Where in the world must one go to find peace of mind?

    What in the world should one do to find happiness and tranquility and freedom?

    I think the whole world is confused about what they want.

    Are wants actions? If you know what you want then you are not confused about what you want. Therefore the world is not confused about what it wants, or are you not part of the world.

    Without worldwide birth control, without the powerfull thinking LONG term--really long term,which no one seems to do,(I'll assume that SOMEBODY is thinking about the difficulties of 10 -15 billion people and the finite resources that will be needed and not obtainable ,if that is actually realized before we blow it all up) Without enough altruism /empathy, without being able to ameliorate greed and realize we're all in this trip together--I'm afraid there's not much hope. Objectively speaking,it doesn't matter much if humans disappear,however,I'd like to think my grand children,their grand children,etc,ect, will be able to live in a much more sane world than the way it is presently. -------never happen.Evolution is too slow and short term gain is blindingly important.

    I was guessing you had to have a degree in psychology to write the off-the-wall fucked up shit that you write.

    Conversations with you are pointless thedope. You purposely complicate and misunderstand anything I could ever say to you, so don't bother because I won't.

    I think there are very few people that know how to be truly happy, instead they fill everything with meaningless things like TV or they over-analyze everything in life to the point where they forget to enjoy anything.

    Personally I think most people are basically good, they are just confused about what they truly want out of life and what it is that will make them happy.

    The world is a long way away from finding peace and tranquility and only a very few people have figured out how to get it. And I don't think it is anything that someone else can teach you, we all have to find our own path... which is very hard. People would rather be told what to do.

    Where did you get such a gloomy picture of the future. I just wanted to know whether you included yourself in your pronouncement of the world according to you. It seemed to me an immediately contentious statement in that I certainly know what I want.
    If you mean by unnecessarily complicating things, causing you to think, than I am guilty.

    I noticed everyone considers me as some degree of something. Why can't I just be off the wall and fucked up.

    Then I would say that people do know what they want but are afraid to say or ask for it for fear that they will be found unworthy. The result being that our problems appear intractable, they are not. They are just not considered, instead we blame and project.
