Capitalism ruined us. We chase the wrong things in life. We are constantly being taught that money/profit is the most important thing in life and having a lot of money implies 'happiness'. Sure, money is important. But after a point, does it worth the hype? 

Materialism is ingrained in us. Unveil the illusion.

Our civilisation has become so complex that our ancestors from ten thousand years' back when time travelled to the 21st century would baffle at the trajectory that civilisation took. But even then one thing that never changed is the belief in myths and stories. Even now the majority are forced to think that the universe is a creation of God. Since there are thousands of gods each attributed to different religions, there are thousands of stories about the beginning of the universe.

There are three stages of life: Biological evolution, Cultural evolution and Technological evolution . Or we can simply call it Life 1.0, 2.0, 3.0.  Life 1.0 (for example bacteria) cannot redesign its software and hardware because it is decided by its DNA and the only redesigning that is possible is through generations of evolution. Life 2.0 (for example Humans) can redesign much of its software by learning things such as dancing, singing, programming etc but we have limited scope in altering the hardware. Life 3.0  (which doesn't exist as of now) can redesign its software as ...

Suppressed thoughts and emotions will leak out eventually, sometimes violently. Yet, the rallying cry of modern society is to silence the maverick, cancel the minority, and hide the deranged. It's foolish, for we will continue to experience unfavourable events involving horrific activity unless we provide a welcoming space for people to unload their minds openly. But clearly, many people are unwilling to confront the monster of another, let alone their own.
