This society amazes me each and every day, on a whole variety of issues, with it's selfish, illogical, and deranged, and intellectually hollow cultural mores. Society gladly violates the rights of all their citizens, but they especially revel in violating the rights and autonomy of the powerful, the weak, the helplees, namely children. Children have no voice within society. They are unable to protect their own sacred rights because society refuses to consider them as being anything more than slaves, owned and possessed by their parents. >>Of course, doing the right thing doesn't give them the endorphin rush >>that "reuniting a family" or "making peace" or "resolving conflict" or >>"activism" does. On of the most repugnant aspects of the "normal" human mindset is the incredible selfishness and self-obsession that drives the actions and feelings and beliefs of the vast majority of people. Which they naturally refuse to admit, cloaking their own true reality under the guise of "trying to be helpful, good gooders". Nobody CARES about anyone else. They just do what they perceive to be good things, because it makes THEM feel good, inside themselves. Most humans would never admit this, because they are living in hypocritical derangement. The VAST majority of people who do so-called "charitable" things, where they try to help others, do not care in the slightest about bettering the lives of anyone. They act in their charitable way because doing so inflates their own ego and makes them feel worthwhile and "good", within their own perception of themselves. Naturally, being humans, they either lack to insight to recognize this truth within themselves, or they refuse to acknowledge it to themselves and others, even if they do recognize it.
