Is it normal to feel like the world kind of sucks?

I feel like everyone in the world today is so negative and shallow. We're all put on this earth to die so is it really to much to ask to live in peace? Obviously on a country scale that would be harder but even kids in school are tearing each other apart. It's almost to the point where I worry about having children if/when that ever happens. Anyone else feel this way?

    That's because the world kind of sucks.

    There's no reason that you can't make your little corner of it less sucky.

    I seem negative because I feel the world is? I'm a positive person I've just noticed a lot of bad things recently. It may be because I've moved recently, but I will admit that there's plenty of positives to balance it out. The positives just aren't always as out in the open as the negative.

    But it's always been like this! Go back in time and see the horrors of the past. How would you like to have been a soldier during the Crimean War when you might have had your leg amputated without any anesthetic, your stump then being sterilized in boiling tar? Or an unfortunate innocent victim during a 16th century witch hunt? Think about the past, compare it with today, and ask yourself which age you'd prefer to live in.

      You've made an excellent point. But the fact that times have changed doesn't make the world any less harsh. While those circumstances may have been terrible people are still dying in horrible ways it's just not socially acceptable anymore.

    15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.~1 John 2:15 KingJamesVersion(Holy Bible)
    It's perfectly normal,I'm a Christian and I feel the exact same way.Worry about being the change you want to see in the world.You can change yourself to be better but never try to force that belief on others, just love them as Jesus Christ loves you.However if you have a negative relationship and that person only points out your faults all the time, then you can have compassion towards that person but not necessarily be with that person.

      Religion is the root of a lot of hatred and conflict in this world. How about being nice to people because you know its the right thing to do without some old 2000+ year old book telling you to.

        You do have a point, I'm sorry if I came off as a religious person.Being nice should be something we do naturally, not because the Holy Bible/holy doctrine tells you too.As far as religion causing a lot of hatred and conflict,there is also some good that can come out of religion as long as I don't impose my beliefs over anyone else's either.
        P.S:It's always good to be open minded about things, thanks for the discussion.

    This gonna sound like hippie shit, but it is important to focus on the positive in life, and the world in general.

    Easy for me to say I know, but try and ignore the horrid stuff.

      You're right, and I do for the most part. I know people who have been through a lot more than myself so I know not to take anything for granted, I'm such just astounded sometimes certain people. There's definitely a lot to be grateful for as well.

    It is not the world that kinda sucks, it is the humans populating the world who kinda suck.

    You are perfectly normal. With all the stuff we see on the news it seems as if the world in an insane asylum! But there is lots of good in this world and you can make the world a better place by being compassionate and kind to those who are in your life.
