I feel like we are in a system where we are fighting for our survival, however, people are so dumbed down to not even know it. We are literally having our balls chopped off. WE live longer lives, but we spend more years miserable, doing more menial tasks. It's like being tortured longer, as before we lived like matches that were bright but burned out quickly.
