The truth is, we are all fish out of water because this particular time space reality was designed so.  This society feels out of our hands.  This lifestyle is too complicated for every person that is part of it, this world is too harsh and everyone feels like they are in over their heads.  Everyone feels intimidated by his or her life here on this planet.  Everyone feels intimidated by each other.  The grand façade is that no one admits that this is so.
