> I am not saying we live in a perfect or just society Phill5. I am saying that those who choose to not excessively dwell on the imperfections in our society are probably healthy overall than those who do obsess and isolate because the world does not meet their standards. Truly healthy people attempt to make positive changes in it, within the scope of their abilities.

Evil is evil and dwelling excessively on the evils in our world is not healthy or useful unless you are going to do something about it, besides making negative judgments of those you think you are superior to... Doing something about true evils is healthy...or just moving on to healthier foci.

For me, it's not a matter of feeling superior or the world not meeting my standards. It's more a matter of feeling that I wasn't made right, I wasn't made for this world, I don't fit in. For whatever reason I don't share the same interests as many other people, so I keep to myself. I have spent a lot of time alone, especially as a child. I always have been introverted. The thing about drones that I have puzzled about is how they can live their lives in this way, which appears so very normal -- whatever that is. How do they do it? How did I get on this other path? I marvel at their contentment because I don't have it.
