Defeat.

[Varient]

I want the world to be a better place.

It won't be in my lifetime.


I want us to use our knowledge to improve our quality of living and take care of where we live and safely leave this planet and expand into the solar system.

Greed and selfishness will prevent this from ever happening.


I want so much for the moral highground to be so commonplace that I could trust complete strangers to do no harm.


Difference continues to be our excuse to do dirt to each other. If you are not punishing someone for being different, you are punishing them because you expect the same from them.


There are days where I get so depressed because most of my ills and worries can too easily be attributed to the negative parts of the human condition.

When I feel this way, I can easily understand where the EMO come from, where the Goth come from, where the Banger come from - And I get a Glimmer where the serial killers are from, the Shooters, and the suicides.


All that keeps me from falling into a self-made Pit that would become my personal He11?





Hope.




Hope that regardless that what I believe and that I will never see it - Things will get better, People can learn as a whole, and we won't self destruct.





Hope.

[Abstract]

The world is a terrible place my friend and by no means a fair one. Its unfortunate that bad things happen to good people, but we can't let it defeat us.

I know how you feel, I suffer from depression and there are days when I struggle to drag myself out of bed under the weight of the seeming helplessness of it all. The thought that keeps me going though, is that there are people who realise that there is something wrong and something that has to be done about it.

It's important to remember the good in the world, no matter how much bad there seems to be.

Unfortunately my friend, all hope is lost. No simpler way to put it.

I'm Howling in frustration.

The need to do something while with the knowledge that nothing major can be done by one is sometimes crippling for me.

I don't expect to be understood, just accepted.

Hope never dies.

 

[Abstract]

I understand your frustration, we're told when we're young that we can change the world and that we can be anything we want to be. Then we grow and discover that we can't and it's a depressing revelation.

you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

As much as greed and selfishness can be dissatisfying to experence, in order for a utopian world we would essentially have to be like drones. You wouldn't want to be a drone would you?

Be a pretty boring world.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Glad you got that off your chest V

Hope never dies.

Well, I wish hope would die in me. I'm just sick of wondering if I cling vainly to false hope right now.

We can only do our own bit. And we can 'hope' that people who feel the same as us do their bit too. That's all we can do.

I've really missed this kind of thing while I've been away.

Why did he spell Hell with 1's? That's what I want to know.

 

[Ronny Shade]

so it wouldn't get bleeped out??

Hell doesn't get bleeped out. What the hell was he trying to do?

 

[Ronny Shade]

my point

 

[StrainedEyes]

doesn't make sense.

Good advice generated by this thread,... most of it in PM's.

I'll take what I can use.


Part of the issue is that it looks like a social disadvantage to be everything I want the world to be.
That a few being that way will be run down by the vast majority who don't see the need.

I'm watching it happen - People are Clueless in regards of it being a choice as to whether to be an azz or not.
I tread the line between letting stupidity move past me or administering life lessons to people who have no idea what they are setting up. There is a "casual" cruelty fostered by this anonymous society where people are brave in a group where most are operating at the lowest end of the social scale - where they are governed more by "fear of punishment" than "Doing what's right."

People glorify the "anti-hero" because it's easier to be an azz than a good person.

Hope is ALL I have left.
