[QUOTE="Rorogue, post: 1272770, member: 14111"] Hi mate, only saw your post today. Well, everything in today's society is about giving extra opportunities and voice to those who they believe had less opportunities and voice in the past. In a society that has achieved everything, like the west, many people feel they have nothing left to do. So they make their purpose about helping those who they feel didn't have as much. There is some book called (I think) "The decline of the west", By Richard Spegler, and he talks about that as the final season of a civilization, where society really starts to collapse. This is what we will see more and more of. People will increasingly give jobs, voices and opportunities to women, homosexuals and newly arrived migrants, purely because of their identity. If you are a hetero man and/or white, and you have the right qualifications, that won't matter to many people in power, because it doesn't coincide with their sense of purpose of 'helping these downtrodden people'. Hence, there will be less available to you, to some degree, in terms of what you can do and achieve. You may feel limited, constrained, deprived or constricted. If you build a faith or spiritual life, you can be more unattached to the physical world, and be happy with less. Then you can at least appreciate the things that are possible. [/QUOTE]
