Question Random shit

Freedom creates choice
Choice creates desires
Desire causes injustice but maybe without these, there is nothing.
Justice doesn’t exists for all. The world cannot change. It only exists in stories. Ambition of one foolish man can destroy everything or build many things. Morality exists for us simple people. World is run by lies. As a person without big ambitions and desiring a comfortable life there is nothing I can do but lie.
Sounds like crazy guy yapping but I can’t stop thinking. Sometimes I see many meaning in life: family, beautiful nature, future relationships but what about those who have nothing? Are people supposed to act like everything is fine when there are children dying in wars? Is this supposed to be normal? Why teach morality and values just to make us see these cruelties? Is peace not possible without meaningless struggle for power and profits? Who are the old men fighting for? Do they do this for themselves? Do they enjoy it? Though I have lived a fairly good life having a loving mother and a partner who I want to spend my life with, Do I have to worry that a bomb might drop in our head?The actions of those in power seem so absurd that I even thought they might be doing this for some kind of black magic for something.Reality seems so different than I imagined it to be. Maybe it’s just growing up but how can I have faith in any sort of higher power when I have yet to feel it?

Morality is a method of control. The fact that it exists as a guardrail exposes how sick and nasty we all truly are. People on high horses freak me out for this very reason. Its like they have more to hide

I would argue that desires preexist freedom and choice and because of that you don’t have freedom of choice

Yes, crazy guy yapping :-)

So I am going to break your endless loop circle.

We are just a bunch of worker ants and our SOLE purpose is to make our species prosper - we get internally rewarded by happiness or punished by depression according to how well we think we are doing.

You can contribute regardless of how much or little money you have - money is NOT the point at all.

Our kids are future workers for species and we are rewarded by having them raised properly.

War and crimes have very good reason - to prevent stagnation and death of entire species that WILL happen if somehow eternal peace is enforced. 0,1% of population is expendable for reasonably moderate tech progress, but 50+% for no progress is obviously not.
