Chapter 73 Title VII The End of Civilization

abundance and suffering In the twentieth century, people like us who live in areas of abundance may have long forgotten the hard times our ancestors had. Watching the famine and suffering in Africa from TV is so clear, but when the TV is turned on, it will be gone again. We can choose to turn a blind eye and listen but not to hear an entertainment program of singing and dancing. The colorful life of modern people makes it easy for us to live in the present, which is cut off from the past and the future. In those days when the roads were frozen to death, crimes were caused by need. If you were hungry, you could only rob others of food; if you didn't have enough food, you could only reduce the population by killing.But in an abundance society, the motives for evil are much more complex.

Man is a gregarious animal, and evil comes from gregariousness.The huge social structure naturally places people in different positions by means of elimination. When someone is not satisfied with this arrangement, it will turn into crimes of various degrees, in a way that violates the rules set by society. to meet your own needs.Psychologists point out that criminals have a hope of success, and robbing a bank is undeniably the fastest way to get money. So whether it is a day of misery or a day of abundance, evil haunts us all the time, whether it is a problem with genetics from the beginning, or it is the inevitable way of life forms on earth.
