Venting I wish I was a sociopath

[ithappens]

Maybe then I'd be able to enjoy and succeed in this torturous shithole called "life". It genuinely feels like the only ways to find life "good" is to either be willing to hurt others OR be delusional enough to deny and minimize the vast amount of suffering compared to the things that bring happiness.

Still can't believe empathetic people are willing to bring children into this god forsaken world where things like pedophilia, rape, kidnapping, murder, starvation, poverty, abuse, etc. not only exist but are very common.

Yeah, I kinda understand what you mean.
It seems all those who make others suffer and lie, are the ones who succeed in this unfair world.

Most people believe that their offspring will be able to bring positive change in this world.
Reality is, only a very small fraction of them will actually be able to do such a thing.

I guess, hope can be a scary thing sometimes.

The way I see it such a thing is impossible. The only thing that brings positive change to this world is the advancement of technology (since humans will never change enough to have empathy for one another on a large scale). And the paradox of technology bringing good change is that it brings equally bad aspects to the table. Like yeah we have the ability to produce more food than ever, but now countries can threaten each other (or even their own citizens) with more massive destruction than ever before. It always reaches a plateau in which it seems like it was never worth the suffering in the first place.

A member of an ancient tribe would be just as happy with his family, his cattle, and his little hut as we are now with our computers and smart phones. Possibly even moreso.

You're my brother from another mother. I also wish I was an uncaring dick of a person then maybe id get somewhere in this quagmire of an existence. At the very least my "father" wouldn't have gotten away with all the crap he did.

 

[lofticries]

Nahh. I'd rather be my pathetic self than become the thing I hate the most. I just don't want to be part of this circle of suffering entirely.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

I wish you weren't there are far too many of them around already.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

I don't. I might say that I do when I'm not in balance, but I don't. I like that I care.

 

[blue_muse]

I can empathise because being on the outside for a while conjures up thinking "If you can't beat them, why not join them?".

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

don't wish that. its the biggest social stigma there is even if you actively try to do good
