Feeling angry, hopeless and depressed.

Post Reply New Topic

This time its not really about my depression, PTSD or anxiety.....or anything family/friend related. Those certainly play a role in me feeling this way but I am very angry about society. Not that I was unaware of this, but today in sociology class we watched a documentary about the 1% of the population who owns most of the wealth.....and well even though I was aware of much of it already it really does anger me.

Especially since their goal is to screw us all over and keep control of the government......after all who pays the salaries of the politicians? Sorry but there is something horribly wrong when the poor keep getting poorer and the rich keep getting richer. Something very, very, very wrong.......and there is also something wrong with the fact that many people just let it happen.

Maybe they are distracted by the media, maybe they are focused on staying divided over race, gender, sexual orientation, political parties, religious beliefs ect. But it makes me angry. Am I crazy for having an issue with the order of things?......should I seek help to nullify my mind so I don't have to think about it? I want to try and create positive change but I don't know how and first an foremost I am not sure what to do with the anger itself.

I dunno, for me there's never been an answer for these types of things. It is actually some religious denominations interpretation (not that I am religious, i'm agnostic) that human run governments will always be corrupt.

I believe this, there's not a single person I know who has always been fair and impartial--adults included. Even if someone is that way.. 90% of that time, there's still that 10% where they lash out with anger, or get tempted by greed, or whatever fallacies a person has.

I mean even if things will never be perfect they can DEFINITELY be improved, but for lack of effort, or knowledge or whatever reason that change is moving slower than a snails pace.

I don't think you're crazy at all, I wish more people would think about such things. The reasons things remain the same, is because not enough people do actually think about them.

(NT here. I feel the need to disclose that whenever I post here)

It sounds kind of terrible, but what you're going through is completely normal. College is where you go to expand your worldview, and learn about things like sociology, and how society works. It can be difficult, but don't let knowledge get you down. It's what you do with the knowledge that matters. Personally, I find meaning in educating others, be it my clients, or my friends and family. Take what you learn in college, and tell people about it. Or write about it. Find a way to share your experience, even if it's just coming here and talking about the things you've learned.

I get angry with people who believe in the just world fallacy. People who defend injustice by denying its existence. I'd probably be happier if I could just stick my head in a hole and not care.

I feel extreme rage about this as well. The goddamn social games played by NTs are making the planet slowly unsuitable for human life. Their social games make them f***ing kill each other for no real good reason other than greed and wanting to feel superior. You know that there is enough resources in the world to support 20 billion people. If only we would f***ing SHARE!
There should be a revolution. Everyone with more money than they can use who does not share should be executed. In my opinion that would be very positive eugenics. Eliminate the hoarders of resources.

It's like a man who has a full big apple pie. And next to him there's a starving man.
And the man with the apple pie cannot eat the whole pie before it rots.
And he tells the starving man: "This is MY pie, you have done nothing to deserve it,
I will not share with you, I will let you starve while I gorge myself and let the rest of the pie rot
in the sun."
And he lets the starving man die. Feeling he got what he deserved.
That's the American way, that's capitalism. That's the way the world works.
