Subject: Am I the only one who feels like....

....things like True love, honor, valor, compassion, chivalry, etc. are dissapearing from the world? I've just been getting depressed lately, seeing all the horrible things happening in the world, it just feels like the things that make us human are slowly fading away... All the things that you read about in books, like heros, fighting for a just and moral cause, those things dont happen anymore, or never happend, and its just depressing.

Interesting - define "what makes us human" in those terms, a biological definition would suffice; we're not really a "special species", just another species on this tiny planet.

One big bad feature with this website is the PM system. You can't see what you said and/or replied in PMs. Really annoying :/

Yeah.......I cannot really do it large scale, but I can be chivalrous by doing things I already do, like holding the door open for girls, letting them go first, helping them if they dropped something, etc.

Is chivalry dying if people are just beginning to do that for everybody? Derp.

Chivalry is stupid.

Join Robot Academy! The best general discussion group ever. Basically the flood with more manners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you.

Hey. In these trying times, you can always follow the 10 commandments of sepian.

1. Don't be a dick
2. Don't be a dick
3. Don't be a dick
4. Don't be a dick
5. Don't be a dick
6. Don't be a dick
7. Don't be a dick
8. Don't be a dick
9. Don't be a dick
10. Don't be a dick

If everyone followed these commandments, the world would be a brighter place.

I don't see the point of these things. As long as the world functions then these things are trivial.

Where I live, chivalry is dead.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I think it's about time all these things died. We're going into a new age of humanity, all these old notions need to be forgotten.

Yep nothing special at all except for the fact we are the only species that have God like capabilities of creation and destruction. You make me laugh at your perception of humanity, thats if that is the sum of your ideals.

Anyways, the truth is- Death and war has less casualties and has been on a steady decline. I encourage you to do some research of violence world wide. That isn't to say our "humanness" has declined. We are becoming more integrated with technology and more globalized each passing year. An argument that the more connected we are the more exposed we become to other people's struggles and hardships. Just remember these same struggles and hardships existed 100 years ago to 1000 years ago.

As a compassionate species we see something on the news and we think about it and worry, or perhaps let it dictate the way we act towards one another. Fear mongering is a political tool that sways the populations under Government to behave a certain way. The cliche example is 911. I use it because I assume it is the most familiar with this crowd.

Put into context 911 wasnt that large of a human tragedy, the death toll was fairly low considering the genocides that have occurred in Africa, Russia (Stalinist gulags) that co-exist as events. However, 911 was imprinted into the soul of the masses to rile up an American population for unjustified war. With proper exposures any minor event can seem like a disaster. Did 911 effect all of America? Not at all, but it did once all of America was properly exposed to it. Pearl Harbor was the same ordeal, gulf of tonkin, etc. Now take that into account when you become full of fear and loathing occurs.

Since we had a brief look into how mob mentality works, what is the primary functioning or cause of the mob to adhere to a minority opinion? You reach the majority dehumanizing populations with technology and media. What I think is really making you depressed is your inability to change the world around you and the lack of interactivity we as a people put up with because some institution or machine now does it for us.

Example given- You don't grow your food anymore in the backyard because the supermarket (institution) has it all for you. Or you may roll through the drive through of some modern fast food place and get a cheap meal. Either way it takes away from what the human experience is meant to be. It takes away personal responsibilities until the majority of the population has clock-work like schedules and lack of individual freedoms. Becoming more of a cog in a gear and less human. Thats what the advancement of civilization makes you trade in. If the collective heads all had their own agenda, nothing would be civilized or properly functioning. It may be ironic that the more "advanced" society becomes the less human an individual becomes.

Hope this helps

I don't need no stinking signature!

People who really think this really need to catch up on their history.

These are by far the most peaceful, tolerant and friendliest times humanity has ever lived in. People aren't living in constant fear of annihilation and have access to education and support that provides all kinds of oppertunity.

I'm not saying that this era is great at all, just that previous generations were even more damn awful to live in for most people. The ideas of 'chivalry' are just the romantisized propaganda of how the high class lived.
