Anyone want to CTB because of the state of the world?

[body_snatcher]

My main urge to CTB revolves around our collective state of living. Is this really it? Yes, the masses cry out. Get used to it.

I can't get used to it. I'm disturbed by the commonly accepted misery people experience in their lives. We're trapped in jobs we hate, and the response I always get when I bring it up is "yup, that's adulthood." Really? For the rest of my life I just have to grin and bear it? Why?

Not even to mention the state of things, our world on an environmental level is crumbling fast. Met with more shrugs.

I feel like I'm going insane. I can't live like this. My childhood hopes and dreams are crushed. I'll never get apologies from the people who abused me as a child. People are brutish and cruel. What will my life come to mean in the end?

Living life to live isn't enough for me. Something is deeply wrong on many levels and I can't do anything to fix it. That is what drives my urge. The lack of justice, the corruption, the vapid empty wasteland I'm trapped in, filled with the blissfully unaware. I feel like I'm living in hell and I just want to leave.

Oh definitely, I feel the state of the world is only going to continue to get worse and since my existence is only contributing to problems it'd be better for humanity if I was gone

Well the general "state of the world" is about 5% of why I want to CTB, but many of my problems come from problems with the world anyways so it's more like 70%. Actually, if the world were perfect then I wouldn't want to CTB, so maybe 100%?

Everyday I'm plagued by feelings of sadness because I feel for the people affected by the state of the world, economy, politics, and just everything having to do with the "system."

Everyone is hurt by it in one way for another. I'm stuck in a job I don't like, I do a good job but I don't get paid well. I can't afford basic healthcare let alone mental healthcare, but who cares when you can rot your brain on social media!

I sound like a boomer but I'm a 22 year old lady… Everything has always been turned around but now no one seems to care

The way human civilisation just encroaches on everything... filling every empty space with our crap and just ruining what used to be a quiet peaceful little part of the world or something... I see it all around me, and it's just soul destroying. Then we plant a couple of token trees and a small patch of grass, just to pretend we give a shit about balance and equilibrium in our environment. When truly we don't give a damn!

I can totally understand why historical sites just got buried and forgotten about in history... everything is a relentless race for "progress". And we've been doing it for 1,000's of years. We're not progressing towards anything though. We're just a stupid hungry vile organism, that devours everything around us until we've left the whole thing a barren ugly toxic wasteland. A big grey blob of concrete and steel... we're no better than fast growing mould on a giant planet sized piece of rotten cheese!

Absolutely. Although especially the first thing you mention. The way in which we are forced to live our lives. Working soul destroying jobs until we drop dead. The world is fucked up but there are a few beautiful things. But the way we are forced to live makes it so hard to properly experience good things that life just feels completely pointless.

This might sound ridiculous, but I often fantasize about bringing all life on earth to an end.

The total annihilation of my consciousness/sentience through suicide is the next best thing.
