you saw the load, you sighed oh no oh life

Two movies I would really like to see. Why have humans become so full of shit? Why is this cultured, Western, civilized way of living cultured of civilized? Sounds like a double standard to me. I am depressed in a deep way, every day, at the fact that we are not only driving ourselves to extinction as a population, but also every other living thing on this planet. It makes me not want to have kids, it makes me feel no sorrow or pain or sense of loss when I think about whatever inevitable, forthcoming obliteration awaits the human race.

With population so huge, it’s no wonder we can’t function the way our brains have been wired. For thousands of years, the way our ancestors survived and thus, psychologically evolved, goes against so many cultural, religious and societal conventions that are intended to help us survive, but are actually backfiring in our faces today.

I say this not wailing and lamenting, but nodding and considering. Not everyone is ignorant of their part in the annihilation of life in their striving of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hope that I fit that demographic. If you have read to this point, logic suggests that you probably do too.

Consider… can the quality of language be subject to the quality of our actions as a group/society/culture/race?

“Girls just wanna have fun” “Forgive and forget” “Live in the moment” “Go with the flow” etc.

This presupposition in these common cultural clichés suggests that everything will be taken care of, you need not worry about actions that might positively or negatively affect thee future, and that someone else will clean up your mess. Dangerous propaganda to build and nurture a society on, if you ask me.

In the meantime, lets practice what Ghandi preached, and be the change we wish to see, and build the reality you want to live in.

Journey well,
