I’ve been sober now for 18 months. I’m 30. This last year and a half has only confirmed why I used to drink so much. My eyes have only been opened more to all the damage going on in the world, both in the environment and within ourselves. What a horrible fucking species we are as a whole. So many egotistical, careless, selfish, over-consuming, seemingly know-it-all, good-willed talkers but will never make real change, pricks. I’m not saying I’m perfect, nowhere near, but holy fuck how can so many people not know that their day to day choices are damaging and killing our own species, making the world a living hell for so many other species, and fucking up our environment in just about every way possible. Why? All in the name of more material shit that we can wear, drive, watch, shove down our fucking fat throats? What a parasite we are as a species. Yeah there’s good ones I know, but fuck how long have people been saying that? When will there ever be enough good people to the point where they’re the rule not the exception? I’m not holding my breath. I don’t see our societal addictions of technology, horrible food, love for material shit, obsession with cars, procreating, and advancement of weapons to kill as many people (and animals) as possible letting up anytime soon. Actually, if Psychology is right, our addiction to all this will only continue to accelerate. I’m sober and I can say with a sober and clear mind: fuck this world, more precisely, fuck just about every human on this planet. You’ve ruined it. No matter how much you may not think you’ve been a part of the problem, statistically you most likely have been. Really look hard at your life, your every day choices and your actions. Don’t be mad at me just for pointing it out. I didn’t choose to join this shit show, but I’m really glad I can choose to leave it.

It is a terrible species but then again all species are, we were meant to be we are predators, ironically as much as we blame technology believe it or not that is what keeps us from being much worse to ourselves “People” not so much for other creatures, you look back in time people were a lot crueler to each other, lawless, domination it was a lot worse a long time ago. These weapons today such as crowd pleasers are a major deterrent from countries just running a muck, NO WINNERS.
It took time for me to accept this but it is reality. We will eventually destroy each other and the planet it was meant to be, we can never change what we are and everything has a beginning and a end including us. I just had to accept this and do the best I can not to promote it any faster.
“When will there ever be enough good people to the point where they’re the rule not the exception?”
Never.
No need to add to your tirade, well said. We are a species wired for perpetual discontent, self gratification, violence and mayhem, with a dash of goodness thrown in. But only a dash. We’re slowly doing ourselves in, patience is the key. One fine day this beautiful planet will be free of us.
We will eventually destroy ourselves and the world around us. This is the truth, there’s no other outcome.
So what? What do I care if I die and everything around me dies, and I suffer and all that is good and bad in the world also suffers and dies? I try not to cause excess harm to the things I care for. I try to protect them even.
But to expect any other outcome is foolish.
We don’t live our lives thinking about death. We don’t need to live our lives thinking of suffering. We think about what we want. Let it all go to hell.
