If everyone is society thinks society is bad then where do these ideas come from? I always read about society's bad ideals, and all the other bad things that society does. So how can everyone in society hate society?

I don't hate society at all. I think some of the things that we, a society as a whole, can believe in are a bit skewed, but I don't really understand how people can hate "soceity", when it's really just an abstract idea.

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.

That's what I'm confused about. If all of society is skewed, there where do these ideals come from?

It's really hard for me to explain what I'm thinking so I probably sound a bit numb.

we're hypocrites. we hate who we are, but we don't admit who we are so we don't really hate ourselves.

Oh, well, I suppose I'm not the right person to try to be answering, since I don't think all society is skewed.

But sometimes ideals and morals can come from a long time ago. Perhaps these ideals make sense and were fine when they were first created, but over generations the meanings were lost, and our society may change but the morals may be left behind, thus they do not match and are skewed.

You can draw it from the general belief that people are 'bad'.
Though to come to that conclusion, you need society to make a standard for bad and good to be compared into.


We talked about this shit a lot in sociology. A lot of people don't agree with the view that people are born inherently bad, by societal standards or any other. I, however, do.
