lose? its long since lost. some people keep telling me there is some good in humanity; but those people are on the internet, and aside from those very brief moments of hope, ive yet to experience any.
humanity is often deemed in an unsatisfactory position by humans; we are pathetic by our own perspective, yet society continues the same as always. we are barbaric monkeys with airplanes and missiles, and nothing ive seen, heard, experienced, or otherwise observed from humanity has offered any significant evidence to the contrary. i greatly envy those who have been lucky enough to grow up around the pockets of decency that dot the otherwise chaotic mass of savagery that is human civilization, that can still retain some hope for humanity to one day function in mutual cooperation, but i am sadly unable to think in such an optimistic manner.
humanity is not doomed, nor can it be 'saved', we will continue in relatively the same dysfunctional fashion that we so love to preserve; nations falling to their own stupidity and animalistic behaviour, rebuilt a century later to begin the process anew. this will continue for as long as the earth can sustain it, helped along by new technology that the masses will be quick to exploit and abuse, until there is no fuel left for the fires of war, and the last humans beat each other to death over a slab of rotten meat amidst the rubble of what we once where.
find what pockets of decency you can, and hope you die before that happens. count yourself lucky you never had to consider that for every good deed done by humanity, countless murders, torture, rape, and starvation have followed it, often for the pettiest of possible reasons.
that, ladies and gentlemen, is my new thanksgiving speech, because i am ever so glad that i am mostly free of that chaotic mass of savagery now, but my experience has gone from horrible to neutral, and thus i have little reason to believe we will ever have a society that i can feel anything better than ambivalence about.
