---Nothing new---
Sorry dude, but the stuff you mention in your short is stuff that everyone already knows about. Nothing new. This short was too depressing and preachy. Also, I doubt that religion has a lot to do with it; it's more about faith in God that makes some people do their best in the face of adversity. Life is cruel, horrible, miserable, and unfair. Realistically, it always will be. We all know it. It would have been more impressive if you did a short with some suggestions on how to improve THIS world.
