greed, corruption, lack of education/knowledge and unwillingness to get some, human nature in general has fucked everything up.
* i dont analyze the parametre of how today's world functions. i take that as a given and based on that, i said that the idea was good. or at least reasonable.

on personal account, i m soo miserable at work. when i say to my mom and i know im unfair to her, that my job is worthless, its air, that i dont offer anything to society, she doesnt agree but she hasnt given me any good argument to back this up.
and now the prospect of going back to work at a bank, makes me puke.
i had made promise to myself not to go back, only if i really had to.
my job there was credit analyst, which idea is again good, but i saw so much greed and corruption and bad quality of people, that it completely broke my spirit. no need to mention that the disease that is called greed, is 10 times more in my current occupation.
i know that my way of thinking isnt helping. and who knows, maybe at any job, i wouldnt be satisfied, but then who is? apart from that, the above are facts.
