I feel like that a lot. Then I remember all the people who aren’t miserable and broken. Who seem to enjoy life, building relationships, pursuing careers, having children etc. Who seem happy. And I figure it’s got to be worth it for them, right? It’s good that the world exists, despite how many of us suffer, so that some people can live decent lives. And I wouldn’t put a stop to that, even if I could.
But maybe it’s not worth it. Maybe it would be better if the whole universe just stopped. Maybe the plans of every supervillain are really for the best. Maybe nobody is ever really happy enough to make what we endure a good thing.
Maybe at some point technology will fix us as a species so we can really be fulfilled.
I suppose it’s hard to objectively judge the human condition when you’re part of it.
