I've tried to find out which is better, keeping quiet to the detriment of looking for solutions to one's life or saying it out loudly till the whole world start making jest of you. I still don't know, the whole world doesn't seem to care about anything. I was going through a Google fact on telegram today and the truth shock me.

"As time goes by, humans are becoming less and less empathetic. Today, we care about others 40% less than people in the 1980s did."

Either you like it or not, that's the truth, we are all getting less emotional in doing things, I am, and so are you, we are all in this together, aren't we.

But before things go from human to robotic feeling, if per chance the whole of humanity will pause for a while to examine what lies ahead of us. Don't tell me man is progressing, we ain't, we haven't moved an inch in progress, we've only ended up in a bid to make the world smaller by the birth of the internet turn the world to a useless quantum void, we've lost touch with the next person, since the phone is at hand.

We aren't smart, yes, we are just becoming more and more remote-controlled by greed to make more money and afford all the shiny things.

I still don't know if what am saying here is true though in all its entirety, I might wake up tomorrow with a different thought. Till then, enjoy this rant of mine.

I hear you. Does seem we are more focused on individuality than we used to be and that definitely doesn't seem a smarter route considering the problems we need to solve as a world.

I’d have to agree with you there. It seems to me that for the most part people have become a lot less concerned with the welfare of others and a lot more selfish.
