Why most of the SOCIETIES nowadays are SUFFERING?

very good qouestion!! but you're asking about something that in other words means...SAVING THE HUMANITY! our societies suffer because they lack spirituality, they lack love! and i don't mean love for wife or girlfriend,i mean love for the friend,neighbour,stranger on the street, for the Creation of God!!! i am spiritualy balanced and i am not trying to convince anyone to adopt any kind of religion but what i am trying to say is that our existence depends on us.if we continue to seek material satisfaction we will also continue to auto-distruct ourselves!!! we should be balanced....beetween material life (car,,money,work), love (for God and every living creature and non-living also), and spirituality (searching inside us ...and then outside us) Look inside you and you will find all your answers...if not, i am sorry for you! go to a zen temple or talk with a priest, taoist,islamist...you name it!!! they will also tell you the same story like me...be loved
