"it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"

nature and ignorant humans with money and power do not care what we think, and have an answer for everything we do.

It is interesting to me that you identify an error mode in one sentence, and then demonstrate in yourself a few lines later. It seems you've abrogated your responsibility for your own well being, and moreover intellectually believe that this is the correct position.

The best argument against what you're saying is that if you accept it, then you accept futility of action. Since most such discussions are leading toward positive change, this makes the argument self-defeating. Another argument against is the simple truth that people can find happiness in the most unpleasant of circumstances, and unhappiness in the most pleasant. Society will never be perfect, therefore it really is within our power to be at peace.

Ironically, it is from a position of inner peace that the greatest and most lasting and most beneficial societal change can spring.
