Why is every human messed up in some way?

Over time education and the eradication of ignorance have softened the instincts of most. But ignorance is a tumor that has metastasized. Selfishness in the educational system and government has led to decreased education and the quality thereof. So the social environment is once again becoming favorable for those who are still selfish.

That’s a really basic way to look at it, now consider other instincts and how their motivations translate to modern human society. None of it is all that positive. The definitions of survival set by our instincts have become obsolete. Our basic instincts are quite problematic in modern society. That’s why we are all medicated for anxiety and depression.

So in summary, humans are assholes because we are still programmed for hard survival despite living in a cozy time. We still think we need to compete for survival. Even in a time when there is enough of everything to go around.

Animals don’t have to deal with complexities, eat, sleep, drink, survive, reproduce. We share these same main instincts.

Humans have this, we call it mindfulness which is becoming a household term. We use mindfulness practices to ease stress, anxiety, and even depression. One might ask why focusing on right now does good things for your mental health. When we are graced with the ability to think about past, present, and future why do we need to focus on right now to regain balance?

Today’s modern society pretty much has everyone living in the past and worrying about the future. Modern society is complex and exhausting. It’s interesting because it’s what we have built. Or what someone has built for us.

Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?

Keep in mind when I say selfish, I mean in many ways, not just wanting more stuff than others but also socially, emotionally, etc.. If they see an advantage they go for it, regardless of it’s effects.

I’ve got an interesting consideration for you.

Animals live in the now, there is no past or future there is only the current moment, current needs, and current instinctual drives.

The problem is how we try to fit our simplistic instincts into a complex society with billions of people.

If we don’t destroy ourselves first we will get to a point where all of our major social issues are solved. Not anytime soon. I’m pretty sure we are due for a horrific global event before people wake up.

There only place we differ is our ability of higher thinking.

Though we strive to set ourselves apart from the animal kingdom, the simple truth is we are not separate. We evolve to survive, just like everything else. We have instincts and the ultimate goal of self-preservation, just like any other creature. We have the same types of needs as any other mammal.

I believe that modern humans are not the final version of human beings, though we like to think we are. It’s clear to me that our minds are in a period of transition from instinct to higher thinking. Another factor in this is, that our minds have far more power than we can access. We simply are not there yet. So we have basic instincts holding us back, and a whole lot of ability we can’t access yet. This leads me to believe far in the future we will diverge from our ancient basic instincts if we make it that far. Right now I feel like the mindset of Americans has reverted to the 80’s. In other words, people are watching too much TV.

So when the number of people behaving this way hits a certain point, other people have to start acting that way so they can also survive, they have no choice. Eventually, you run out of good people and it’s just corruption everywhere. Something we are seeing quite a bit these days. Trust between people just vanishes and we enter a social dark age. Thats where I believe we are headed right now. I blame the Government.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

I find it astonishing how many world leaders make obvious bad decisions, what is scary though is many people have gone with the mindset ‘it is what it is, nothing I can do about it’. People have forgotten that we are actually in control, they work hard to make us forget.

The important fact about our basic instincts is they are 100% selfish. So what happens when you take billions of people with hard-wired selfishness and try to make them play nice? You quickly find that the main goal for most is figuring out how to gain an advantage. Some people turn to violence, crime, and the usual ways of taking advantage that are obvious. Some people take advantage financially, and these days many many people legally take advantage of others. Talking to you corporations and politicians!
