      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      Ooh... what a toughy!

      society = burdensome conglomeration of people who dictate what's "normal" for everyone within their religious, social or economical sphere of existing.

      culture = the art, education, myths and religion that make up an individual society.

      technology = medical, electronic, agricultural, scientific and communication (etc) advances

      politics = governmental individuals who attempt to oversee, discipline, regulate and guide the people of any given society.

      But... if I was to go with word association, I tend to be more jaded:
      Society= Judgmental
      Culture= Taboo
      Technology= Stunting
      Politics= Corruption

      Jeff and I seem to be the only people who are mainly grateful for the world we live in, and I can't speak for Jeff, but I was born and raised largely by sadists and depressives in a backwater community. WTF?

      I understand it's easier to be critical than sincere, but really, when and where would you rather have lived? Would you rather not have lived?

      Bah... I've been having a bad year. My answers would probably be the same no matter where in the world I lived if my situation was the same.

      Whether you're subscribing to Christ-world or Bodhisattva-world, the gist is the same: you are loved. Christ lit a beacon of love to let you know, regardless of what century you are born in and how you have been treated in life, that you are welcome in the Kingdom of Love. Your situation has nothing to do with it. If you accept the tradition of the bodhisattvas, then thousands of beings at least, throughout time, have lived their lives in love of you, that you might know joy without suffering. I love you. What's wrong?
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      society - expanding
      culture - evolving
      technology - perpetual
      politics - outdated/stagnant - I couldn't decide which one felt more accurate.
