Just wondering - (assuming you live in NZ) you live in one of the best countries of the world: high standard of living, free and democratic system, little social & racial tensions, justice system getting it (ways) more often right than wrong, only limited over population problems and (rather) healthy environment and benign climate. If you disagree with any of these statements - just look anywhere else!
So let me ask you some question(s):
If not in NZ - where would you rather live?
Given that it is here (as you insist) so bad ... why are you not already gone wherever it is better?
Do you find as well at work and in your social circles that you are surrounded by "greed and mental & moral cowardice"?
Ever wondered, whether the problem might not be with the others?
Look, nothing human is perfect and there are lots of things we still could improve in NZ and the Western world. However - believe me - it does look much brighter, if you try to see as well the positive sides.
Ever wondered what you can do to improve the system (or at least your small circle) instead of just rubbishing everything?
