We live on an overpopulated planet. We continually find ourselves on the verge of running out of resources. Species are dying off because of things the human race has done to the environment.
Species are dying off because of things the human race did not do to the planet, but nature did.
People are dying daily from sheer stupidity. People are dying daily from sheer ignorance. People are dying daily from listening to stupid, or ignorant people and believing in them. Those people are dying from gullibility.
People are dying daily from natural causes.
Everything dies eventually. Yes it may suck to think on, but thus is the nature of life.
I can not get myself worked up over the bigger picture. If some die in another country due to war, famine, plague, or natural disaster (death?) I just can't run around mad about the apocalypse.
The end always appears to be "nigh upon us", but when it does come nothing will stop it.
So, with life comes death.
I almost feel like the earth could use a few mass disasters. I'm sure I would die in the process should the world be decreased to a 10th it's population, but maybe that 10th could go on for a few thousand years without truly screwing up?
*things i think on as i read others rants against the world*'
p.s. Apparently there are "tent cities" cropping up around America due to the housing/financial/employment crisis. Everyone in my class seemed shocked and appalled by the concept. Like such a thing is new. Umm, we are WAY better off then the Great Depression. I just can not grok the mass hysteria. Things need improving, but panicking wont help that.
