Discussion What do you think about today's world, economic instability and possible war escalations?

[LastLook]

Life in general sucks, as a pessimist (not by choice) I think we're heading into a world even worse than before.

What do you think?

My brain has shut itself down and spiraled into nihilism recently, especially since I'm in a traumatic environment right now and it's been repeatedly beating me down, daily.

Normally I'd probably come up with something better to say. But lately I've just been hoping that nuclear incineration doesn't hurt too much.

I'm also a pessimist. It does feel like we're all going to hell in a hand cart. Truthfully, the world sickens me. It even sickens me that I'm a part of some of the problem. On the one hand, I hate being a consummer and generating pollution and rubbish. On the other, I'm too lazy to live a less impactful life.

Some of the stuff going on though, I just think is so horrific. I hate it that humans are like this but then- I don't know the answer either. I'm so ill informed regarding politics- I'm not even sure what a good decision really looks like anymore.

I suppose I don't think violence is the answer. I just think it results in never ending retaliation back and forth. There again- it seems right to put up defence if you are attacked.

I wonder if we're just f*cked as a race though. We are so greedy and seem to revel in conflict. How are we to have a happy ending when we have those elements within us?
