Society as a whole has become very selfish, the individualization of each person has become prominent and the norm. It's a vicious cycle because even good men/women end up engaging in it due to self preservation and some level of ego which is within most human beings.
You see i'll try to break it down for you. You have Person A, this individual has a very low consciousness level and only thinks about himself. He believes everyone else is only there to serve him as stepping stones. His intellectual capabilities are limited, his entitlement only the surface of what a shallow human being he is. Now this person goes out into public and does multiple acts of selfishness which are all witnessed by others in society, usually these acts will not only benefit this selfish man but they will also negatively affect the people around him. This negative impact in turns makes others see this person and think why they too shouldn't engage in selfish behavior as the selfish man seems to not only be getting away with it but also getting ahead.
So Person B sees this behavior and although they may be a better human being and not as selfish like the man, they too start engaging in selfish behavior. Their ego cannot take the hit of being "stepped on" so they want to be the one doing the stepping instead of being stepped on. This just creates a cycle where others witness these two and engage in it, soon enough you have an entire society of entitled, selfish, egotistical, narcissistic individuals who value individualism over all else.
This type of behavior is usually a key marking of a low trust society. It is the norm now in the west. An opposite example of this which is a high trust society where people work together for the common good instead of only themselves is Japan (or it was before the immigration started happening). Leaving your door unlocked, ensuring there is no public littering, politeness and behavior that is expected of a high trust society. This is because the people are not inherently selfish like people in the west have become. Of course every human being will always somewhat prioritize themselves, this is simply our programming for survival but what has happened to people in the west is far from that. You see people in a high trust society who are not selfish to such an extent and haven't fallen for the individualism propaganda understand a few things. Firstly, we can talk about children, raising children has become difficult in the west, you are always looking out because there is danger everywhere around you as people are unpredictable, angry, malevolent, degenerate, the list goes on. You need to have 24/7 supervision over your children or there is a high chance of them going missing or something bad happening to them. Whereas in a high trust society, you will have seniors hanging around in the streets, kids playing, everyone takes care of each other. The parents do not even need to be supervising, they understand society works together and maybe it's the seniors on the street playing a board game, or the shopkeeper across the street, maybe a passerby, they are all keeping an eye on the children all around them even if they are going somewhere else or focusing on something else. This is because they understand it doesn't just benefit the parents of those children, when they too have children then their kids will be able to play safely in the protection of the "community".
The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is true, i will make another thread about this and the nuclear family later. It's also not a coincidence that high trust societies usually have a higher IQ on average which is clearly the case for Japan. They are smart enough to know life is better when the community has each others backs instead of the west where people will screw their neighbours over just to get a little ahead or people will outright refuse to help or assist people in their community because they don't see how it benefits them personally, then later they have the nerve to say why didn't anyone help when their own child or they themselves were in danger or in trouble. They fail to understand their selfishness creates a cycle around them, others will also join in and it becomes full circle when everyone is now individualistic and refuses to do anything that won't benefit themselves.
Community is one of the biggest things that has taken a toll since the propaganda for individualism and a selfish society has taken over. There is no "community" anymore, i am 29 years old so i remember what it was like when i was a teenager and even younger, and this isn't just me putting on my nostalgia goggles, everyone knows the world and society was so much better back then. Covid and everything post-covid has been a nightmare. I am sorry if you are too young to have ever experienced the world when it was so so much better.
You start to think about why society has become like this, why is everyone so selfish and the degenerate nature of the west. The answer is the same for 99% of societies problems, the jews/elites consider us cattle and want to destroy us. I won't delve too much into this subject in this thread as it deserves its own thread and there's a lot to talk about but it really is a shame that the zoomer generation and beyond will never experience a high trust society where there is community and everyone works together. I actually remember a time when most towns and places in America had somewhat high trust communities where people hadn't completely lost it yet but that was quite some time ago.
You know the popular show "stranger things", it was safe for kids as young as they were in season 1 to just go on adventures, now it's a bad idea to let your kids in modern day america to do that. There are so many predators and so much degeneracy. So much propaganda turning your boys into girls and all kinds of stuff. We have regressed as a society and it's a damn shame.
So to conclude this thread i know you are wondering whether it's acceptable to take part in the cycle of selfishness as everyone else is doing it. I am now in a position where i firmly believe only those of a higher level of consciousness can truly put their ego aside and willingly not to be in this loop of selfishness and individualism, it is easy to do that, what isn't easy is to do the hard thing, the choice of not taking part and being like all these other people. Ideally you could try and find a small place in Japan or some other country where there are still some high trust communities around. I doubt you'd find many in the west.

Finally got around to reading your post, it was slightly discomforting with the lack of spacing between the paragraphs, but that is a minor grievance as your post is overall of quality content. I agree with the entire premise. There's a reason why envy was made a sin.

I'm planning on leaving the city when the opportunity presents itself and living in the mountains or countryside. Hopefully the people where ever I end up aren't terrible.
