We can't even stand our own species, page 1

You're right.

A lot of those statements that people made are probably from people who are about 16-23 years old. I'd be surprised if they were much older than that, but hey, anything is possible.

Though I do not agree with the exact thought process behind their statements, they all have valid points. Humans can be pretty lousy.

But, humans can be very awesome as well. It all depends on who it is.

The biggest tragedy, and the one that most people have a hard time dealing with, is the fact that it is so insanely hard to tell the difference between a truly good person and a truly bad person. There are so many fakers (the truly bad people), that society looks more like fake good people and insane bad people. But, I've found that a lot of the people willing to show their "evil" side are actually people who are more compassionate and actually have more "good" tendencies, but are angered over the fakeness of "good society".

I don't think it is right to be flaunting evil, because you're not going to scare anyone into being good... you're just going to create more reason for bad people to be more fake. But, what can ya do. People learn at different rates and different times. I can't expect everyone to be "enlightened" like I am!

Hmm... regardless, it has been my experience that we are in a balanced illusion. Firstly, a lot of people are foolish enough to believe that just because someone is polite, they must be good. Even more people are foolish enough to believe that just because someone is rude, they must be bad. But, here is the reality : There are a few more ill-doers than there are good-doers. Why does it seem like there are SO MANY MORE ill-doers? Because people focus on the negative. People are comfortable when things are good. People rarely are always excited when things are good. Instead, people relax. The good is something to not just relax and enjoy, but also to PROMOTE! But, people are lazy. Selfish. However, when things are bad, people focus on it, and promote it. People attack it, or increase it, or avoid it. People react to negativity. Therefore, more people are inclined to BE BAD. People like attention. And since doing true good usually means no one is going to notice, fewer people are doing this. But, since bad people are so nit-picky (once they've fully developed), they usually catch the good person in their invisible good act. And they either transform for a time, or they start taking advantage of that good person. I could keep going...

If y'all care enough, you'll see the point. Start acknowledging the positive aspects of your own positive life. Thank God if you do that. Be thankful in your mind if you don't want to thank God for what He's given us. Atleast have a thankful appreciation for the good and don't be so relaxed as if it is nothing.

The real conspiracy here is human selfishness. If you go out of your way once in a while, you'll realize that it doesn't kill you. If you see that you can fix something and you imagine to yourself, "But, they are too stupid or selfish to notice that I did anything." Do it anyway. It won't kill you. You probably won't be rewarded. Do - It - Anyway. It's something to do and you're adding to a culture that is in dire need of someone to care.
