people suck

‘Per­haps, in ret­ro­spect,
there would be lit­tle mo­ti­va­tion even for malev­o­lent ex­trater­res­tri­als to at­tack the Earth;
per­haps, af­ter a pre­lim­i­nary sur­vey,
they might de­cide it is more ex­pe­di­ent just to be pa­tient for a lit­tle while and wait for us to self-de­struct.’
—Carl Sagan

Faith in hu­man­i­ty and good­ness in peo­ple, you’re los­ing points again for me. Hu­mans are dis­ap­point­ing and prim­i­tive. We could ac­com­plish so much if only we’d stop de­stroy­ing each oth­er and our­selves.

It’s kind of dis­ap­point­ing for a species to just “jerk off” its po­ten­tial. It’s frus­trat­ing. I see it in peo­ple every­day. In their eyes and lines on their faces, just sad­ness or some form of neg­a­tiv­i­ty. Peo­ple just un­able to fill this con­stant void of “what can I do with my short ex­is­tence.” If only in an ide­al­is­tic world, we’d just start­ed ac­tu­al­ly think­ing. Real think­ing. Just start to care and re­spect our­selves and this plan­et. Do away with all the pet­ty non­sense.

The world is a whole dif­fer­ent place when seen with a high­er lev­el of con­scious­ness – ob­serv­ing the bull­shit as it hap­pens. It’s like be­ing trapped in a cage and just watch­ing every­thing crum­ble and age. See­ing every­thing that is and even know­ing how to pre­vent it, but for some rea­son, you can’t. Peo­ple just do re­al­ly stu­pid things. Al­ways.

Hu­man­i­ty will just im­plode on it­self one day un­til we just no longer ex­ist – at this point we’ve al­ready lost our abil­i­ty to re­spect and care for one an­oth­er.

The ul­ti­mate fate of hu­mans is ex­tinc­tion ei­ther by our fault or na­ture.
