Why does mankind refuse to change for the better?

I swear, it's getting worse, every day. If we don't change for the better, any sooner, then we might end up like the dinosaurs or worse, in an "H.G. Wells Time Machine" type future where mankind is divided into two races; the Eloi and the Morlocks. I'm not making this up, either. I am being dead serious! There is so much hate in our world and vile people who do cruel things and it's not improving for the better. First of all, it seems that mass shootings are now an everyday thing. Then you have people on the internet refusing to be nice and they ALWAYS get away with it and that's just wrong! Nothing is being a addressed with bullying and the congress seems to careless. I really hate to see where mankind will be, in the next 100 years. I don't even want to imagine. Be optimistic all you like, but I bring up a good point.

It will get worse before it gets better. Everything hidden and suppressed has to come to the surface. Everything hidden has to be seen.
And 99% of the population have no idea what was hidden for a very long time.

Can not imagine. And mostly to gruesome to look at.

We just know more about what's going on in the world than we did before - all that bad stuff has been happening for millennia. And knowing about it is the first step in doing something about it don't you think?

It might just be that those who evolve, and know better, move on to other planes of existence, and don't reincarnate on Earth anymore. It's like a school: every year an older generation (better educated) graduates, another younger one (uneducated) enrolls.

The best each one of us can do is to better ourselves firstly, then work with the closest to us to better themselves. Asking the world to change as we believe is better is useless. Besides, on every issue there are honest people who firmly believe opposite things. Who's to say who's right and who's wrong in absolute terms?

Are you doing all you can do about yourself?

As they say: it's better to be lucky, young, healthy, rich, ...

Simply put, this world and it's inhabitants are beyond saving. A lost cause.

BlakeGood88; Your words make me terribly sad. I feel strongly for all who have to bear a weight through life.

It's really not so. We are in a visible mess but this is only because we live in a world where information is now instant, everywhere and not secreted. The world is a better place than it ever was, that we have leaders and politicians who look upon their careers as more important that the people they represent is our own fault. We are the ones who vote them in and invite them to represent us publicly, leaving the real problems unsolved.
There is today less poverty in the world, less hunger, less disease, less exploitation and less ignorance. India and China are good examples of countries taking the first steps out of hopelessness. Most of these improvements are due to individuals in all walks of life, people who have not forgotten compassion.

So there really is hope.

Don't give up.

I really hope you are right. But truthfully, I don't even need to watch any news to recognize the condition of humanity. 99% of the people I meet these days are all selfish egoistical narcists, especially those of around my age. I've spent a whole year meeting new people and trying to make new friends. Trying to be friendly and social, giving everyone a fair chance to prove themselves, without any success. All the f#cks I gave were simply being trampled. And members here always act surprised because of my misanthropic nature? Give me a break. Of course, being optimistic about a bright future isn't wrong, but I know this heavenly utopia we all dream of isn't going to happen anytime soon. It simply isn't happening. This universe is way too cruel to allow it.

I no longer hold any emotional attachments to this world at all. To me, Earth is nothing more than a prison I wish I could leave.

Saved by whom? From what?

I don't think there is any "saving" involved here.

I don't mean literally saved from a disaster like in a superhero movie. I'm just saying that the insanity on this world is irreversible. Those who identify themselves as ''light workers'' are fighting an impossible battle that is already lost. That's what I truly mean.
