Reasons for sadness in the contemporary society

Have a look at the society we live in; see how mediocrity and stupidity are everywhere - if you don't believe that, just turn on the TV and you will see idolized people that are only capable of screaming into a microphone and even someone who can cook becoming a "star", but not someone that can really give something to this society, that would probably be too dangerous for those who are in control.
All they want is to let people swim in their little pond of objects and fake happiness. Very few dare to talk about ideas, real books, and real art. If it's not commercial, this means if it's not a product, its nothing! But a product is made to be consumed, while art and ideas are made for your soul. Even religion has become a product – if you don't believe that, turn on your TV again.
Fact is that in this society of madness we tend to forget who we really are: Angels with one wing, souls that resonates to a higher music, beings whose destiny is bigger than their understanding. We desperately need a new humanism. Until we will not go back to our humanity, we will not discover our nobility and businessmen will believe that they are the ultimate kings of this world.

BTW, that picture you're using looks like a Church service or is it an Amway convention?

I think it is our humanity that is holding us back. We have ceased to aspire to be better than we are.
