This world is a horrible place

First, I’m not going to kill myself, so keep your pants on (that applies to you as well, helpbot). I’m too charitable to do that, seeing as there are a few people around who would not take too kindly to any unexpected and eternal absence on my part. The truth is though, I hate life, living, occupying a warm body, the whole gambit. I hate these things because they mean I have to spend time on this hell-hole of a universal divot called Earth, which (and no offense to those of you who have taken a liking to our little blue orb) is a rather depressing place. So depressing, in fact, that if I weren’t already suicidal (passively, not actively) I’d consider becoming suicidal.

I’m also not a fan of people, which hasn’t helped alleviate my rocky relationship with the planet, seeing as the two seem to come hand in hand. What I find most unpleasant about our species is our inclination toward doing the wrong thing. We seem to be hardwired to do exactly that which is most detrimental to happiness. We judge; we obscure; we assume; we condescend; we hurt; we rank; we tear down; we indulge; we seek perpetual self-gratification; we avoid the truth and develop realities which suit us and what we feel comfortable believing; we hate those who do not share in our delusions; we seek for answers where we will find none, and yet we pose questions in the face of obvious fact; we misinform when it’s proper to inform and inform when its proper to remain mum; we look out for #1 and forget about numbers 2-6 billion. But I beg you, if you are human and reading this, please don’t take offense to this laundry list of grievances. What I dislike about you (and myself) is your nature, and that can’t be helped or changed. You are who you are, and I’m imploring you to be proud of it. Yay pride! I’m not proud of it, nor do I want any part of it (see, I’m a hypocrite, you can hate me for that), but rest assured, I wont leave this life because suffering here with you all is what I do best.

The third thing that is wrong with the world (or rather with me?) is that it is ill-suited for someone like myself. This world rewards ambition, motivation and determination: I have none. This world congratulates and exalts intelligence and ability: I am a guy of moderate intelligence and no specific or special skill set, and even if I did have one, I still lack the motivation to develop or do anything with it. Beauty can make up for any lack of the former, but I am relatively unattractive as far as guys go, so I haven’t even been able to find superficial happiness (though I’m pretty sure I don’t want to anyway).

In short, I am bitter. I am mean. I am spiteful, hateful, disagreeable, and some might even argue incorrigible. I am all that is wrong with this world, plus one. I just thought I’d share this with you since I haven’t found much else to fill my time with, and considering I plan to keep on keeping on, I’ve got a lot of time to fill.

I can’t say anything helpful here, I can only tell you you are not alone in feeling this. Me and my closest friend have felt this way for years. We struggle to accept the reality of how horrible all this is sometimes and yet we know it to be typical. I hope something bright happens in your life to lighten your view, as I hope (hopelessly!) for my own some day.

Life is a gift and as much as you hate the party you should always make the effort to get up and dance,
I am neither ambitious or beautiful but hell I am going to enjoy the beauty of nature and it has to offer me

Ha Ha Ha…You DID get HelpBot!

Listen. For someone with moderate intelligence, you got most of what this life is all about. And you’re right! For the most part, it does suck here! And, well frankly, it’s supposed to. And strangely enough, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s a good thing. Because none of us is really made to stay here anyway. Long-story-short: We’re here (so to speak) for our steel to be tempered. We’re here to be tested. And we’re here to learn. How does one fashion a God? By this life’s experience. Here is where God fashions us (his children) to one day be completely with him. And all those bad traits we do that you mentioned are yes, you got it: very natural…here. The point is, like the father’s other creations, we could just do the natural stuff and act naturally to what life throws at us. But we aren’t just like the other creators. We have the dubious honor or burden (however you want to look at it) to choose. Choose what? Choose to be supernatural! And don’t confuse supernatural with unnatural. There is a difference. Again; we can either see this world naturally (through Man’s (our Adam’s) eyes) or through the eyes of our creator. That’s what it means “to be created in his own image.” We get to choose. And that is also why we collectively are gifted dominion over the Earth and everything in it. Granted, many, many times it’s not always a clear and easy choice. But nothing worth having rarely is. So Grumpy, my friend, choose! …and choose well. God bless!

I agree with you who posted this. Normally I can write a novel but tonight I find that usual loquaciousness is nowhere to be found. Let me just say that I’m melting in this miserable cesspool of a pot right along with you. And I for one will be glad when my time is UP! Yeah yeah, be thankful for life and all that…well. Shod it, when you grind away all your hours just trying to survive there isn’t much time left for enjoying. Ahhh…life and this world really does suck!

You are correct. People are the root of all evil. We are born “pre wired” as you say with bad in all of us. Some , well most of us also have some good in us. It usually comes out in moments of dire need. Societly speaking we do reward those who lie, cheat and steal better than those who don’t. It is the soul of a person on which he or she can be judged however. If you leave this earth and you can honestly say that you did more good than bad then that would be a real determination of whether you had or had not had a “good life”.

Because this world is what it is, and that is never going to change, you have to work with what makes you, yourself content. Find something you enjoy and be damned if anyone is going to stop you from enjoying it. Relenquish the control others have over you and control your own destiny, make your own path. Dare to be who you WANT to be, not who you are…unless being who you are IS what you enjoy. ……and if that is the case what do you need my advice for?
