Dysfunction in society

How dysfunctional are we? The question is not merely an outcome of frustration but a general observance of the populace and their popular culture. The rotting cultural values are becoming irreversible. The changes and alterations are happening at such high speeds that the rotting is becoming a norm rather than an exception. We are all running but still finding ourselves at the same place, with our progress or the virtual idea of progress shredded into tiny pieces. We are collecting those pieces and still running, probably scared from something or someone. We are not independent anymore but organized labors in a highly sophisticated labor market, white or otherwise. The better the circle of incentives and farcical emoluments, the bigger the avarice of an individual and, lest we forget, individuals form societies. We are all bound by the idea of money and a career.  The natural liberty of a man is to be free from all sorts of mental and physical strains. In the culture of today, we breed dissatisfaction, inequality, envy and above all unhappiness. We manufacture and diligently prepare diseases and then bring up hospitals to cure our diseases. And then we invite the envy of our neighbors by getting treated at rich hospitals which only a lucky few can afford. Why corporatism is important is because it brings in materialistic prosperity and apparently brings in happiness along with this materialistic prosperity.  But does it really bring in happiness, or does it bring in slavery as its by product. The debate will always go on. Its a never ending process.
A famous quote is so right in this contest: Things were made to be used and humans were made to be loved, but the problems arose when things started to be loved and people used.
