Random Rant About Perspective on Life, Religion, and the Ruling Class

I live the life that somewhere between 80-95% of the human population would be envious, or even jealous of.  There are hundreds of millions of us in that range and that class of life.  However many of us are unhappy, some are suicidal and severely depressed, have severe anxiety and social issues.  Life is all about perspective and frame of mind.  I notice that one way for me to have a positive perspective, I must think of the several BILLION people who have it worse off than me, and would kill someone to have the opportunity to be in my shoes, live my life, and have the opportunities presented to them everyday that I have presented to me.  This is unfortunate and somewhat tragic when I think about it, but then again I am choosing (or perhaps just naturally, morally feel this way) to look at it from that point of view, which seems to be looking at something negative in order to make my situation seem like a positive.

However the way I see life, of any species, is that everyone really should just be selfish, enjoy life the best they can at the cost of whatever and whomever else's benefits, if that's what it takes.  If someone has to suffer in order for me to experience happiness and bliss, and I am able to make that happen without resulting in any negative consequences towards me, I should do whatever I can to make it happen.  And everyone else should live their lives in this way as well.  I think that is how the Elite on our planet operate.  They do not believe in God or consequences resulting from actions/decisions/behavior that most of the world would consider incredibly immoral and unacceptable.  But they know more about history and the planet and the universe than we do, because they have the endless amounts of money to acquire this information.  I'm sure they have been able to visit all the ancient caves and see the cave drawings and ancient writings and stories from civilizations that reigned and flourished thousands of years ago, and put all the pieces together to see where we come from and disprove all mainstream religions.  The elite, throughout history, have been the ones to create these religions and push them on the public or private sector, in every civilization going back to the Mayans.

 These ideas and religious stories and cultures were created from the minds of the rulers of the world to control the population.  And they've been successful, however the internet has exposed a large percentage of the world to these facts and that they are being used as slaves and lied to about so many things that dramatically affect their lives.
