I hear what you're saying Cleve, but sometimes decisions are not ours to make...
What price survival?
Why does emotional contentment always seem to take second place?

Surely, life is about forfillment and enlightenment, pleasure and experience, learning and teaching...instead of which, it seems to be more about treading on our fellow man to reach the top of some imaginary mountain, of which the only beneficiary seems to be the one who has used his fellow man as footholds and steps.

We have forgotten what the meaning of life is, and wrongly assume that it is about 'survival of the fittest'.

There are those who genuinely need our help and encouragement - but there are also those who prey upon the system for their own selfish gain and prosperity...
