Sick of mankind.

Years ago, I concluded that people can ultimately be split into two groups: people who accept reality and people who perpetuate their own perceived version of reality.

Now I see that people who perpetuate their own lie aren't all horrible people. They're also very kind and nice and try to make life seem like what it isn't. We are apart of a society, albeit composed of figments and principles that too were simply created. And suffering is a part of this society, as well as the world at large. To discuss life like we're some leaves at the edge of earth's branches or like life is beautiful as it is, is to lie. It is not beautiful. We have ran the planet to ruin and we done even worse with each other.

The sooner we admit this, the sooner we can work on actually making life as beautiful as it should be. In the meantime, I'm not going to be some fucking optimist pushing aside my logic and telling myself all those people out there, somewhere, that I don't know who are as unhappy as any man or woman has ever been, don't exist or they're just irrelevant. To build a community of empathic beings who may not be the smartest, but understand what it is to be someone else is to bring peace. The only time a person would kill a loved one is to put them out of their misery, and if we reduced our misery, what reason would we have to harm one another?


And with that, I leave a song for the sentiment.
