| I don't need to talk to anyone; I'm neither suicidal nor homicidal. what I am, is this: aware of how shitty people are to each other, at almost all times. all it takes to end a marriage or a decades-long friendship is a bit of money, or a small opportunity, sometimes. slavery is more common today than it ever has been, it's just all underground now, instead of out in the open. dictators exist and make millions upon millions suffer each day because they can't let go of their power, and those same dictators are surrounded by people who would gladly assassinate that dictator if it meant they could become the new dictator. I've seen people I work with become absolutely drunk with power when they get a new job title; so drunk with power that once I witnessed a power-tripping "team lead" push someone down a flight of stairs because that person printed six pages instead of the weekly quota of five. people are self-destructive, power-hungry, and evil. prone to violence, and many seem to need to feel superior so much that they will make a mountain out of anything just so they can climb it and look down derisively at others. we are an absolutely garbage species. I don't need to do anything to help our destruction along, nor does anyone else. we are all contributing to the demise of our species already, as part of daily life. |
