Welcome to Gaia! ::

You know what is terribly funny? Most people spend their entire lives seeking the truth, but when they find it they deny it.

I am afraid someone will be blinded by the truth of this post. confused

People should comment this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting the impression (mostly from the above quoted phrases) that you're getting most of your negative information about humans through the media of TV News shows, newspapers, and other similar objects that give information. If this is true, then I think you ought to realize that the vast majority of media needs to publish that which is interesting and will get them more audience members. Most people aren't interested in hearing how the average Joe was walking peacefully down the street, or how another Joe average saved a kitten stuck in a tree last week. No, the interesting stories are the horror ones, the ones that most people are convinced will never happen to them. A young girl was raped when she was walking on the same street average Joe was walking on? How horrible! Everybody wants to flock to the scene to see what happened and why. A week after Joe average saved the kitten, that same tree was destroyed in a bomb raid? Guess which the media's going to be more likely to report to you. Doubting humanity because you can only see the bad things it has to offer is blinding you to the own truth that you are so desperate to seek. You need to see both sides of the coin before you can give it a value. There is still plenty of good in the world.

As to the idiots you're so fed up with, vast majority of the time, one reaps what one sows. If someone doesn't educate themselves on the meaning of whatever, then it can eventually come back to haunt them later in life. And bam, natural selection kicks in. Now, I'm not saying anything like, "Oh, if a girl is wearing only a skimpy bikini top and nothing else, then gets raped it's all her fault!" or even, "If he had only tried to live there himself, then this huge fight/war never would have happened!" or anything like that. Very obviously there can, and will, be exceptions, but vast majority of the time, the one who regrets their own actions most is that person themself.

But, really. The meaning of life, and what is to come; whether the decisions you make now are the "right" ones or the "wrong" ones... why bother spending one's entire life to figuring out something that so obviously doesn't want to become unmysterious? Just live life until the end and be a good person. Who knows. Maybe you'll be able to change humanity in some significant way.

That depends on whether you think humans are plaguing the Earth, or if the Earth is providing for them. XD

I believe the only aspect of humanity that truly bothers me is our willingness to take advantage of things, no matter how well-bred and brought up you or I happen to be. Yes, humanity is a plague on this Earth. Should we have existed? If you say no, then none of us should be here writing about this, nobody of us should love, be happy, enjoy themselves, or basically live life out to its fullest. That's a double, as it also provides a reason to fear death.
