I think things can always be better then they are now. Most people including me are idly sitting by how this monster of a monetary system keeps robbing everyone from wealth and making the few at the top wealthier.
A bit like Steemit right now 😄.
What will it take before we overthrow this heap of .......

Why on earth we accept to live with a system that is so grossly unbalanced and unfair remains a mystery, but I guess those who benefit most of it, slowly see the decline of the system, While those that already new that the system is f.cked are worried more about their primary needs than overthrowing a system that doesn't work.

Anyway, I do think it helps to keep reminding ourselves that we don't need that much in life to be happy and here comes the cheesy part, by sharing, showing good intent and trusting people even though they screw you over.
Things will be better as karma deals with the rest!
