Why do we live in chaos?

I thought everything did.

 

i ring true with that description.. and im sure plenty of people do. perhaps you could call me spoiled. but i think spoiled would involve

'expecting other people to do things for them'
'unwilling to listen to reason'
'incapable of caring for themselves'


I mean, I identify my childhood/adolescence and even part of my becoming-adult self by that list of 'indigo' attributes, bar 5 and 10. And I would like my own children to be that way, because I have related positively to those attributes.

Indigo theorists DO say that most kids are indigo these days, so the real question is whether our parents generation were actually void of these qualities... or if indigo is simply a quality of 'kids'

Im thinking that indigo children are simply a product of the opening of awareness about dogmas and cultural oppression which became a big issue in our parents era.

But so has spoiled children...

I think it is a matter of having an open loving parent-child relationship, and as long as the child doesnt become 'spoiled', that is, expectant and dependant, then it is a good thing for these people to be in society.

however, I dont think all that many kids are 'indigo', even if there are a lot. (and when I say indigo I mean the attributes associated with indigo children.. indigo auras could just be a 'childlike' aura which was stifled in the mid 20th century and thus appeared to flourish in the second half

 

I think the question is relative to an extent. Compared to places like Zimbabwe, Iraq and Afghanistan, society here in the UK is in reasonable shape. I have a personal prejudice against the police, I don't like seeing them on the streets, perhaps because of the power and force they represent. You hear a lot of people in the media demanding more police on the streets, but not me. I might grudgingly admit they're a necessary evil. Our police force also seems less draconian than some other countries. I know it's just one example, but I do remember seeing the footage of the L.A. cops beating the crap out of that motorist, subsequently causing riots when the cops were acquitted of assault. Then you get "disappearances" of people arrested and never seen again like in e.g. South America.

Doctors I generally give the benefit of the doubt, though they have a habit of being pill-pushers to get you out the door. I've met some good teachers, but I couldn't really say what the education system is like these days. From what I hear in the media, basic numeracy and literacy is pretty bad in the state sector, I don't know about opening minds. When I was at school it was mostly about discipline and authority hanging over your head, but I went to a private school so maybe they were behind the times.

Maggie Thatcher famously said there's no such thing as society. I think what has happened is it is an increasingly "Me" society if that's not a contradiction in terms. People look after Number One, and materialism is the new God.
