How did we get to this?

First, males were trained to be soldiers who would fight to the death without ever acknowledging their pain. 

Then we trained females to crave approval from males and never mention their pain. 

Then we raised children to crave prizes for winning with slogans that said you are either somebody or you are nobody, which trained them to seek titles and status above contentment. 

Then we destroyed cultures to make gadgets and trained workers to sell them. 

Then we made up stories and movies that said people are selfish and cruel and the world is violent. 

Then we destroyed other nations to mine materials to create amazing technologies to entertain us forever so that we didn't need other people or human company. 

We were told we didn't need education, or health, or children, or parents, or lovers, or friends. 

Then we underfunded hospitals and senior homes so that staff would burn out. 

Then we donated large sums of money to create fake news and propaganda more entertaining than truth, then imprisoned journalists for leaking out truth. 

Then we were made to see that we are failures because we haven't saved the planet. 

Then we were swamped in headlines, twitter, memes, images and posts that routinely remind us we are powerless to do anything about the crises we face but we can fight each other over who is to blame.
