Basically, I'm disgusted that some people are born with every advantage in the world, while others spend their whole lives climbing out of the holes they were born into. I also hate how the superficiality of humanity perpetuates the advantages/disadvantages, with society's emphasis on beauty and financial success. And the fact that reality rewards those who aren't afraid to **** people over in order to make it in this world, while punishing those who do right. In some ways society has degressed in altruism, in other ways progressed.

tl;dr it's a dog-eat-dog world, and all those animalistic tendencies we thought we've shed in becoming 'humane' are still very prevalent

Inb4 I'm declared a self-righteous pinko
