I keep finding more and more people that are self-centered... Im starting to think that no one cares about anyone. Is this normal? Does anyone else feel this way some times?
Every single day. For a social person, you'd be surprised how often I consider hermithood.
I've never seen it as a whole to begin with. It's fragments of things I notice and things I don't, so I could never loose or gain faith in "it".
I do just about everyday. There's only so much I can take around people. But, we all have our faults. The last thing to do is become just as bad as everyone else. Be the change. Care about your friends, help strangers, be the best person you can be.
Sometimes i think it's kind of like .. You know.. True... Deep down it's all about ourselves... What can we do to feel good.. What can satisfy our sexual urges.... We want what we want... Is that all we care about?..
Well, i guess we all do kind of care about eachother.. Some just colder than others'
Always, because whenever I see people arguing about small things or stuffing themselves, I remember when I went to Africa and saw people who had tlo drink, bathe, and do laundry in river water, and eat ntext to nothing. People overthere are starving to death, dying from water diseases, or killd by animals when walking over dangerous terrain to gather water. Fewer than 20% of African children will reach the age of5.
In humanity as a whole? No. I personally know that there are still good, honest people out there. However, I have lost a lot of faith in my community.
Simply put, a lot of the people in this city are low-lives. Druggies on welfare who put their kids on pills so they don't have to hear it, gang members, people with superiority complexes who glorify the life of a criminal and people who truly believe that tolerance should extend to making excuses to people who refuse to respect themselves or others.
The decent people that can leave are leaving and the ones that can't either try (in futility) to improve the community or keep to themselves. I can't blame them either way. It's crazy what a few assholes can do to a community.
I worry about the sudden influx of environmentalists I fear their intention is to wipe out the human race!
I have seen and been a part of a lot of sad things on this planet. I know there is a lot of selfishness and suffering.
But these are *precisely* the things that make the wonderful parts of life so heart-stoppingly amazing. Even if it's small, and not of huge cosmic consequence... seeing a child share some sweets, watching a couple in love, hearing an uplifting story -
Love and selflessness and the most beautiful things are all around us. They may not always be the loudest and brightest things we see (lots of times what sticks out are the rare events, because they are bad we notice them more). Every day, world-wide there are amazing acts of passion, kindness, love, and self-sacrifice.
The human race will always have self-centered acts and evil in it, but considering the awesomely profound goodness that exists as well? I'd say it's a fair trade.
