These… annoyances…



This big, disgusting sight that surrounds and pervades my senses…  So much waste.  So much lost potential.  It aggravates me.



Had this race forfeited its religions, its wasteful nature, its hypocritical ways, it could have stretched across the solar system by now.  People could be living on other planets and learning and growing.  Overpopulation would become overly difficult and humanity would have reason and purpose to its name and its ways.  But as it stands now, we embrace idols that we expect to snap a finger and solve our problems for us, even though we have never once seen them in person and are driven only by the fear of the possibility that they exist and could smite us with their wrath.  We consume every square inch of the planet that nurtured us in our infancy and all its resources until it is nothing but a barren husk.  Those with power are driven by greed and fear, only interested in gaining more to prevent loosing such influence.



Such ignorance… such waste… it disgusts me.  But more, it depresses me.  Because at the same time that all the chaos is erupting, I see failure in my own actions-- both great and small.  I see failure in my efforts of all shapes and sizes.  I see failure in my expectations.  I see failure in my expression.



This failure… and knowing that so many others embrace the wasteful and self-destructive ignorance…I… WE… grow annoyed by it.  We grow sickened that so many with power refuse to use it to correct the imperfections that riddle all our lives.  Sickened that so many proudly spout their arrogant banter that pushes society downward as a whole.  Especially the individuals that dedicate their lives to the detriment of intelligence and the downfall of scientific thought.  



We… HATE them.  And that hate drives us.  Makes us angry and disgusted by the vile, putrid logic that so many seem to feel honorable supporting.  



Wake up… and smell the ashes of a world burning to a crisp… figuratively, literally, and intellectually.

Yeah, very bad times in the world. It's hard watching it all turn to shit..and finding that when you try to change things, it's not only very difficult but people purposely stand in your way.

I'd like to think that people will overcome their ignorance, but my hopes aren't high any longer.

By the way, that last sentence summed it all up perfectly. In fact, you could leave it on its own and it would deliver the message.

Usually, I'd be trying to give advice and commentary...
But honestly.
You're right.
The world's grown to be a grotesque place of which we are forced to be on...

So basically.
No comment from me after that above..
Later.
