One thing I can't understand is the position of human beings towards happiness. They say that the pursuit of happiness is a right everyone is entitled to because it is a wish as well as a primordial need. If this is so, how come that - from what we see on a daily basis - men (and women) seem to "voluntarily" do and be involved with stuff that brings the opposite result? Take movies, for example. If everybody (at least a "normal" mind) wants to live in peace, why do the majority of the movies being produced show hate and violence to the highest degree? If mankind desires love and caring, why do so many shows represent cruelty and deviousness? In a nutshell: we want serenity but we keep portraying turmoil; we want good relationships, yet we are shown (and, evidently, enjoy watching) betrayal and crime. Mankind, nowadays, can be compared to a person who wants to follow a healthy diet but keeps eating poisonous food.
