You have come here after a frustrating personal experience, not because the suffering of humanity gives you insomnia. Your frustration comes from some unfulfilled expectations: it's the feeling that we all have when life gives us a scotch that can awaken us from the fantasy that the world has been created to fulfill our new wishes. Now you've learned that the world is not that far. But it was not even created to make us bad, so you can give up the idea that someone has something with you. Do not take them personally. Nature is indifferent, and people always, and first and foremost, pursue their own good. No one pursues anyone else's evil than when he gives satisfaction. Even the rapist or pedophile does not follow the suffering of the victim, but their own pleasure.
Do you seem to be "cynical"? That's what I meant. In spite of the negative connotation, unmistakable in my opinion, the cynics were not a sadistic club, but some philosophers who were advocating for a more natural life, even if this sometimes led to the defiance of social norms. We have deliberately adopted a "dog" attitude (a term related to "cynical") not to break your salt on the wound by anticipating your embarrassment, but to bring your situation closer to reality, less " apocalyptic ".
We feed ourselves every day with fictions that we take as realities, whether from naivety or comfort, so it's inevitable that we give ourselves a headache from time to time and we complain about it "it's not right".
What if a politician would come to the elections to say something obvious: Romania is a country with western prices and eastern salaries, so corruption is inevitable and proportionate to poverty? It would be an act of political suicide, the electorate would vote with all the others who claim without cause that they will hold corruption in their mandate. Of course, every politician has the power and not your good, so do not cry that he's lying to you: he does nothing but tell you what you want to hear. So the merchant: when he says in the ad he thinks of you, he does it because he knows that you like to hear, and if he does not do it, his competitor will do it. Just like the politician, he's interested in his profit, not yours. The fact that we use policies or better products from time to time is the accidental result of competition, not just someone else's care for us.
Here are two examples of everyday fictions that we treat as truths by consensus. Why consensus? Well, a big protest can pull out any politician today. Likewise, no trader can face a boycott of his products. As long as these movements do not take place, it is common sense to think that the world is actually pleased with the state of affairs.
There is nothing in nature or society to make it "right" for you. Yes, we have justice, but when the judge sanctions, it does it impartially and mainly to prevent the wrongdoing, not to give you justice. And religion postpones it until death, when it becomes irrelevant. I stop here with the examples, because it's not my job to make speeches about the morals or the philosophy of law. I just wanted to introduce you some intuitive points to help you change your beliefs that are now causing you to suffer.
For the world is not set in motion by justice, but by forces of attraction and rejection that are bordered like two faces of the same coin. Love draws people, hatred separates them. Both blind, both real and none of them have anything to do with the fiction we call "justice." That's why it's a thousand times preferable to suffer from the love of men than from the sense of injustice. Yes, sometimes injustice hurts harder, but suffering from love is the only meaning ...
