We are losing our nature.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied with their own thoughts and perspectives. It's exactly what I was looking for. I really do try to keep an open mindset, and I've posted this with the original goal to see what others think and take in some of their thoughts. I realize that it is controversial- some people may not like what I'm saying, and that's fine.

Edit: Also some people have pointed out my title may not be entirely related to what I'm saying. It's a title that I've rushed as I originally tried to post this a day prior. But it was rejected to my title being a question. I still don't have a concrete title that sums up my post well, so feel free to focus on the content instead.

In a world where racism and discrimination is commonplace, it’s hard not to lose hope. Everyday people are more wired to the point where it’s as if everybody’s forgotten how to feel. The core principle of a human being.

Everything is dominated by facts nowadays. A theoretical concept like feeling is hardly even mentioned. It’s as if we’re progressing in the wrong way. It’s all about money, laws and regulation. Feelings seem to have fallen out of place. And that’s the main issue that’s facing us as a species right now.

The main issue is that everybody’s forgotten how to feel.

There is hardly any discussion about it, because it’s nigh impossible to pinpoint the exact science behind feeling. This is because feelings are not set in stone. They’re ever-changing. Constant. 

Think of the next scenario I’m about to present to you in a standpoint of a human, not bound by laws or any rules. Just a normal human being.

People are being forced to leave their home. Why? Because they don’t have the status.

The status.

Isn’t it absolutely haywiring? Fellow humans are being kicked out of their safe havens. Torn apart from their loved ones, because they don’t have the status. Status- a man-made concept. Now, if you’re still following. This gets down to a deeper level. If you really think about it. Really think. Don’t treat this as a math problem. Think- isn’t it insane? How us humans are actively harming our own kind- what gives us the power? Money, social status. These are all man made concepts. 

This was our first mistake. Yes- order is required. But you look at the world nowadays, and everyone just doesn’t even bat an eye at the lives being lost. Everyone is coded to just… accept that fact.

Our second mistake. That lives can be traded for money.

You mean paper bills? The ones that we made up once again to trade around? Your lives are equivalent to paper bills. We don’t even know what life is. Not even scratched the surface. This goes beyond biology- how life is created. No, we don’t know what a life is. 

There is an impossible amount of problems that are present. I have to admit- I’m part of the masses. People are dying? It’s sad, but I accept it. There’s nothing that can be done.

And the fact that I’ve just accepted there’s nothing that can be done is such a gargantuan issue that plagues every single person on this planet. I wonder- has it always been like this? Have lives always been seen so lightly? Yes, most people feel sadness when they see someone died on the news. The worst ones don’t feel anything. But that’s it. Nothing more comes after that.

We, as humans, as a collective, have failed. When the very essence of our being is not the first priority in everything. 

There are an infinite amount of things I could discuss. Alas I am just a kid that had the urge to write this after an argument with my friend at 12 am. Please do feel free to educate me in the comments if there's anything I've gotten wrong. My knowledge of the world is still really quite limited.

P.S. None of the examples in this post are directed specifically towards any political issues/world events. I am referring to the problem as a whole.
