    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said "The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man."

      David, this is so true. I once heard that evil sits on the throne of our hearts until good replaces it. We are our own worst enemy

    Society is horrible... No one is truly free. Most people are stuck feeling trapped living a miserable life. It's a shame that the world is this way. The system benefits the few and leaves the majority oppressed. How many people wake up everyday forced to live in a way they don't want to? If I were to guess, I would say it's a majority of the human population...
    Everyone is expected to act a certain way, live a certain way, and even if they don't agree with it, they put a mask on and do it anyway. Everyone is just pretending....
    No one can truly live the way they want to. It's possible, but most don't achieve that dream. Everything you try to do, there is always an obstacle standing in your way preventing you from doing it. Some among us are lucky enough to overcome them. Others don't.
    It's like everyone is a zombie. We are not truly free... Animals for example are truly free because they can just live. Not humans. We are constantly pressured. We have expectations we need to live by. Do we really have free will? Isn't everyone just living there lives based off of someone else's idea of what the world should be like?
    Aren't we living our lives based off of the way people have told us things should be? We have these ideas planted into us from a young age and we never question them.
    We just say thats the way it is...
    Do we really have a choice? We are given the illusion that we do, but we don't. If we don't abide by societies expectations than we will be failures right? Make money to live... Live to make money....
    All my life I've always felt like something was missing... Like there was something wrong.. perhaps the way we are currently living isn't the way humans are supposed to live... I've felt this way for a while... Once I reached a certain age I realized just how fake everything is...
    We have no choice, but to conform. Conform and live in a way that doesn't make us happy.
    This is the cruel reality of life.

      "No one can truly live the way they want to."
      When have more than a tiny minority of people been able to truly live the way they want to?
      So if society is responsible for this, and "society is horrible", do you mean by this any society with a complex organisation?

    On the subject of money … it is not money that is “evil;” rather, my exploiting others to acquire a surplus, and that that acquisition relies on, and moreover is indifferent to, another’s lack, is evil.
    On the topic of human trafficking … it’s being viewed as an “evil” that occurs for money ignores the victims (by relegating their plight to a lack, a mere pursuit of plenty); when this inhuman act is committed by and perpetuated by greedy, self-serving humans who are given agency by the demand of other self-serving humans’ need to satisfy their desire for sensate physical pleasure. Without the “demand” there would be no need for “supply.”

    The lady with glasses is just good with mentioning names, she doesn't really teach or make you learn something...I really learnt something from the ghanian priest, when he explained about ...... The pursuit of a valued instrument or System(money) in a certain way to the point where the way (human trafficking) in acquiring this this valued instrument or System (money) makes you as a person to simply look for more of the valued instrument in order to still fund the way of acquiring the valued instrument, especially in a way that doesn't consider Human life......
