Sitting in economics class once again, with the teacher rambling on about the world's troubles, once again, I decided to ask him is the world that bad?
Is there no good in people?
Do people only look out for themselves, like they say in movies and not fairytales?
His response: Everyone is greedy, only cares about themselves. His motto, which he coined from I-forget-his-name, 'There is no such thing as a free lunch'. I found this very distressing, as I believed there was good in the world, just like I did when I was little.
Obviously this isn't the case, as there is good in the world, but that doesn't change the fact the world is a greatly selfish bastards. Now, being right-wing politics, I seem fine with letting everyone go about their business in not having to deal with everyone else's problems, but I decided to think of this from a different point of view, and I can see why people would be upset with people not caring about their problems.
Now obviously, this doesn't mean we need to radically change our perceptions of people, in which we believe the best in everyone, and assist in anyway possible. We don't really have to change too much, but a bit more awareness could be kind.
Although, my teacher did go on to say that those who don't care are much more aligned to earning a better income, and this instantly changed my opinion back to its natural course.
Still, I want peace, because in peace comes fairies and unicorns. And who doesn't want a unicorn ?
