Life is painful. There is no escaping it. It is SO EASY to experience something that 'traumatizes' you - I mean hell, look at what's going on in the world right now. You see kids wrapped up in head bandages and you see how much evil there is and has been in the world since the beginning of time. And that's only what's in front of us right now - the tip of the iceberg.
You look at the rise of corporations and people who take clear advantage of capitalism or even communism and how much of a negative impact it makes on millions of people who AREN'T benefiting from it
You see our ruthless desire to build and conquer and the damage we do to the ecosystem
The countless lives whether human or animals who are just pushed to the wayside and completely left for dead
Hell,
Something as simple as someone breaking up with you or betraying you can scar you for life, or experiencing a bad experience in the workplace, etc
Seems like trying to avoid it or trying to rise above it is almost foolish. Pain is a natural part of life and I feel like people are just trying to escape it, but can you?
Sometimes makes me think about how fucked up it is to be alive. It may sound dark but it's like, fuck. What's the point of all of this. Does it actually make a difference whether we're here or not? HONESTLY.
people will say ' of course it matters! you matter to the people around you, you make a difference!' but is that just cope? is that just someone who isn't experiencing pain and hasn't seen the truth about the world trying to justify them being happy?
Or are we all here with 0 idea why we're here, just trying to make the best of it because that's just what you do.
I fear that I've seen too much on this planet and I'm not sure I can ever go back to the 'pure' way of living that the majority of people seem to be living in.
Yet even knowing WHY these things happen we can't avoid them... Because we're human. A lot of the times we're driven by things that we aren't even conscious of. And even being conscious of them doesn't stop us from doing them. We know war is bad.. We know inflicting pain is bad.. Yet we do it anyways. We know drugs are bad, we know cigarettes are bad.. Yet we do them anyways.
What's the point? we can't avoid what will happen to us in life.
this might sound dark af but it's honestly how I feel, curious to hear what you guys have to say.
