Some of us ‘read’ other people better ...I believe I do a fair to above average job...my red flags and intuitions are usually spot-on. I knew when a person close to me was marrying a crumb...sure enough, they’re in the middle of a complex, heated divorce. My intuitions are durable...but I understand that many are tricked/fooled, and it HAS happened to me...but rarely. I don’t know the recipe...just be very, very alert. People who yammer on a lot about themselves are generally not good partners...there is no one deciding factor.

I do understand the world. Most people are morons, doing what they are told, buying things they don't need, but smart people tell them to buy it because it's funny or handy. We're like sheep in a herd waiting to get butchered. And some clever people think they are providing from it making lots of money, but they forget they will die too. So maybe the clever people are even bigger idiots.
Most people are easy going, but the easiest way is often the wrong way.
More recently it's what you can't have. The society become like the garden of Eden and then the people in it like Eve, what was once stood for is now always stood against.
It becomes an influencer with the Chanel bag as the middle class disappears into a sort of commentary on these new aristocrats. All is vanity I guess is the point, checks on vanity such as childbirth or having to bury your sister become rarer.

Education makes it easier to understand people because there's less mystery to the educated. Life becomes more of a script, and even a flipping of the script, until there's nothing new under the sun. Capitalism and communism came on to defeat the mystery of a life less thought about. There will eventually be no exotic place like there was in the days when the world was wide.
And that's my theory of obfuscation. As the exotic are sponged from the face of the earth by the universal state, the people from the universal state will begin to misunderstand the obvious. It will begin to synthesise ignorance, for example a belief in ghosts will emerge because there is nowhere in this modern world that contains a wonderful adventure.

Yes I do understand the world as a whole and it makes me really sad. We have gotten lost in the master plan of things. We have forgotten how to be happy. Each generation becomes more lost. Greed for things we do not need now rules the human race. We are the wild dangerous animals that prey on this earth. I could go on but this answers the question. We are lost.
The better life for your kids, the adventure, the wanting what you can't have. The spirit wrestles between these things but what transcends them all is deep connections with other people. We all need our fellow man, our Samaritan.

I disagree, education makes that we are all thinking the same, do as we are told to etc. Without caring about our own free will.
Simple. Strip the veneer of civilization from humans and see the true prehistoric animal. Driven by the same prehistoric needs. Find food, find shelter, find a mate. Defend the food, shelter and mate. And any young because they are supposed to care for you in your dotage. Kill off any competition. Help only those who are of use to you to defend the above. Fear lack of any of the above so gather more than you need, kill more than you need to, hoard more than needed. Seek and fight your way to the top of the pack so you control the above. Society is all an illusion.

People have cashed in their liberty for comfort and convenience. It’s that simple.
Yeah. I understand the world pretty good. Sux bad, gonna get worse. We'll be lucky if the world as we know it, is still there in 5-10 years or if we're just a dust heap, a jumkyard. A DUMP. People cannot understand the simplest truths. They have to run off to their drugs and alcohol. And most people will literally attack you if you try to educate them on anything practical. So Whatever. Oh before i forget. People who say they're "Going to make the world a better place" are fulla baloney. They screw up on anything from credit card readers to foreign "relations." Every DAY the world is poorer, dirtier and more congested. America has gone from that light on the hill or WHATEVER, to a burning trash heap. How is america better than it was, say, before obama.

Dan_777: Yes..I understand all about it.
The whole world is a stage and we're actors upon it.
The world may indeed be a stage but for most people they will not play any role whatsoever upon it. That is a restricted world. In the end it all comes down to "live and let die". We all meet the proverbial "End"someday. The old Spanish Foreign Legion have a saying/ motto, "Viva la muerta!" Long live Death....just try and imagine a world without it...
