I'm middle-aged and in my lifetime it feels like the world has become an unbearably terrible hellscape. When we cannot cope and compete in this rat race we blame and hate ourselves and become deeply unhappy.
I feel that we're facing oppression death and misery on a biblical scale. I don't know precisely what form all this will take I just feel that it's coming.
Of course the more you live the more jaded cynical and crushed by life you become so obviously you're not going to be very positive.

I am not religious but I feel that we can only save ourselves by accepting a higher power that promotes the well being of all.

Plot Twist: It always has been that way and the past is always embellished.

Joking aside, honestly...the more we know about how the world runs, the more we become aware of how we are stuck here, with no way to change it. While I think the world becomes worse depending on the current landscape, our vision also becomes different once we start seeing the ways we are cheated off of a good things, or even things we may deserve due to what we endure here.

Doomscrolling is bad, but I don't do that and I still got a jaded view. I guess I can blame RationalWiki somewhat but better to select your doom and take it with patience than cramming it down your head, hahahah.
