wealth gaps growing - society fracturing, page-18

Club_sharer,

Well what can I say, one of the most insightful posts you will ever see detailing the true situation on the ground here in society.

Me personally, if I did not have the financial support from my parents I would have struggled in the past and continued to struggle in the future at no real fault of my own.

It is a terrible situation at hand at the moment. All this is not an accident, there is a purpose behind it all.

It is sad to see society slowly degenerate like this. What's more people are getting desperate in the work place. I was at a job for a few years where 60 people were there when I started. Towards the end there were only 4 people. I tell you what, when peoples heads are on the chopping block they start getting desperate and go into self preservation mode very quickly. This turns into an ugly scenario where everyone is trying to shaft each other to remain in the job a little while longer. I saw good decent men just break down emotionally after a while. I saw two people suffer heart attacks because of the stress' and anxiety of potentially loosing their jobs. I listened to peoples issues on a daily basis, the main message I got was people felt like they would be failures if they could no longer support their families, the indignity of this possibility was devestating to their immediate well being and really they were suffering right in front of your eyes. I was effected by all this. I happend to be safe in this job right to the end through some good fortune, so I was kind of like a fly on the wall and could observe the situation. For this reason many people came to chat to me about their trying circumstances.

All I know is that the place turned into a social pool of pus. People were driving each other crazy, shafting, plotting, scheming against each other, etc... A highly charged environment that was rubbish to be in. Really what could only be best described as a "dehumanizing environment".

This is not social/human progress. This is going the other way. I can only see it as part of a wider agenda and no accident. It is terribly un-fair that so many struggle to get ahead these days. Me personally, I am fortunate as I have my parents support financially. Without it I would be struggling no doubt.
