The current state of society is making me cry

Post Reply New Topic

It just looks like the whole existence of the world I live in right now is dying or having it's last gasp. I am mad at God for the system of existence he allowed to happen. Some things make me wish I grew up in the 70s or 80s, even if those weren't perfect either. I still feel like the bullcrap that's been going on forever in modern society like political correctness culture and the ills that created was just starting to take root before and while I was just born is never going away, no matter which political candidate or ideology is in government power at the moment. As long as the media continue to be controlled by the same corrupt evil that has an intentional interest to divide people and create discontent, it will never die out one day and everybody else is pacified to accept it and not rise against it. It doesn't look like a far-great leap to say that within only a decade will be even worse down the path.

I feel like I want God to end it all in one quick flash before it gets even worse and I will go either to Heaven or oblivion black nothingness for eternity. It seems like the only alternative allowed knowing the laws of functioning which the earth was created.

You are not one. There's 2 things that really bother me about the world we live in at the moment.

Injustice. Now there has always been injustice, but I came of age in the late 90s and I felt like anything was possible. People could buy houses and have a bit of security. It was easy to find work. The benefits system was a safety net for those in difficult circumstances . But now I find I'm hearing stories of people in need through no fault of their own struggling to make ends meet. I don't know if the world has changed drastically or if I am getting old.

Pollution. I hate what we humans have done to the planet. I hate that scientists are doing post mortems on sea birds and finding them full of plastic. I hate that I have contributed to pollution through my lifestyle.

Thus isn't very well written. It's midnight where I am.

There are stories out there of kindness and people helping one another. See if you can find stuff like that to read online. Mainstream media like the dark sensationalist stories. It sells well. But there are good people out there helping others, helping animals, making the world a better place in their own way.

We ourselves can't change the whole world, but we can be determined to live our own lives well. We can change how we ourselves treat others. Can you find a voluntary group near you? Maybe spending time doing something worthwhile with genuine people will help you cope and help you find some good in this strange world.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Although there are always local setbacks (and individual difficulties), the world as a whole is in a phase of enormous human progress in almost every area, from declining disease rates, reduction in infant mortality, enormous reductions in poverty and hunger, increasing freedom, and much more, thanks to the decline and disappearance of socialist governments, the rise of the free market, the rule of law, and so on.

It may not help you individually, but here's a good site to help you think better about the world as a whole:
