Modern world is full of contradictions,
But there so many contradictions in the modern world, it's like we're are going bipolar.
I mean it's all about doing things because we have to and being blame for it.
Yeah, there's sooooo many temptations (TV, youtube, facebook, games, tweaking your system, having pointless conversation with friends, reading endless RSS feeds to be informed...) but then you feel empty after a while because you just felt like you've wasting your time.
What are we taught in Sunday school or by our parents ? to help people around, that war is evil, that we should love each other, to respect people, and then when we watch TV or go to the movies Hollywood is giving us a display of violent crimes, exploitation of women, ... basically exactly the opposite, because sex and gore is an assured profit and in today financial crisis everyone is looking for a good sell.
The censors are in a difficult position because usually when censorship strikes a polemic is created and it actually attracts more audience than before.
I feel the modern world is giving me a false sense of control over my life, while in fact the bottom line is simple : modern society is raising a generation of robots - You go to school to get a job, you manage to get a few job (that you usually don't like, but it's okay because nobody like his job), and after a while when you got tired of doing stupid job and obeying a boss, you want to taste a bit of freedom and then you realize your former friend colleagues are distant, and look at you like you're an outsider, an outcast.
So what's the most important thing in the World ?

- you've got to get a car, but then you feel bad because you know you're polluting.
- you've got to get a job, but then you feel guilty because other people are still unemployed.
- you're told that being a christian is all about helping each other, and what you see is selfish people
- you're told to trust that the government is protecting the citizen, while people are getting arrested because they used their freedom to protest against injustices.
- you've got to buy cheap, but then you hear than the cheap product you buy are made in Country that are exploiting their workers blatantly.
- you've got to refrain your urge for instant satisfaction, but you know easy temptations is just a click away from what you're currently doing.
