A life worth living?

Here I sit in an air-conditioned and well lit room surrounded by books, magazines, videos, etc. At best I could say life is great. But it is not, I’m discouraged by the lack of motivation to participate in our current electoral process. What is going on in this world? We are unable to communicate and get along with almost everyone we deem different. Our political process is bought and sold to the one with the most money or best connections to money. Does the little guy really matter these days? Families are struggling to survive and the continued expenses of our military endeavors are hardly looked at as the cause for the economic meltdown. Greed and overly zealous sycophants push us to compromise ourselves to make money or steal the resources of other nations in order to maintain a lifestyle worth living. How will this impact the views of future generations? How do religious, educational, and governmental institutions rationalize our actions to the youth of the world? Has might makes right and bullying become the motus operandi of our culture? So if you think we are justified in the stealing, killing, torturing, etc of peoples all over the world then we may end up like the Nazis, Romans, and other empires that become less concerned with the development of mankind but the acquisition of power and control over the planet.

I keep hoping thing will change for the better but the abyss is before us and I'm sure things will get even more hairy as a super power with nuclear capability lacks the ability to control it's demise.
