This culture doesn't pay us back in kind:

The Bar- They don't provide a healthy space to meet and discuss your problems anymore, now you have to bring your own social capital and they overcharge you for food and drinks and cheap ambiance

Church- they ask you for all your time, your tithe, your mental compliance and yet they don't seem capable of helping with solving most real life problems

Feminism- They tell a woman what she should and shouldn't be able to do, but they suppress all the biological, societal and historical significance of what it is to be a woman.

Government- These assholes.. all they do is take. And the help they offer is cold hearted, unrealistic and ultimately selfish.

College education- This one's easy. It's in poor taste not to attend college, but good luck finding a job and paying off that massive loan in your early years when financial status effects you the most

Relationships- People tell you to get married, but society, too afraid of offending anyone, overlooks all the research that points to what constitutes a healthy relationship..

Culture presses upon us these expectations, but then never helps us work through the problems faced with each one. Our social economy has become a drain on people. You can sense it.

The gifts in nature are free, or they pay you back with vastly more than you put in. No wonder the powers that be have disconnected us from nature and forced us into cities and fascaded communities.
