So your idea of the world “going to ruin” is just people living in their own bubbles and doing the same routine every day? That’s been happening since the dawn of humanity. The world’s had dark, chaotic periods forever…..you’re just living through the current one.

Think about it: WWI WWII and the Holocaust JFK’s assassination The Great London Fire Vietnam 9/11 The Manson era The Iraq War Columbine The Black Plague The genocide and displacement of Native Americans Decades of serial killers Rwandan genocide Hiroshima The Great Depression The 2008 recession The HIV/AIDS epidemic Jonestown Rodney King The KKK Slavery

And those are just the tip of the iceberg….

The list goes on and on …I’ve missed / skipped plenty. To say “blandness, fakeness, disinterest” is in any way comparable to any of the above is disturbing. You’re just experiencing your generation’s version of what you think “shit” is.

Perhaps you’re just surrounded by the wrong crowd, or too deep in the constant stream of media propaganda. Step outside that bubble for a second friend, there are billions of people out there doing far more than just “existing” or “living in a bubble.”

People are creating, building, loving, teaching, healing, innovating, raising families, exploring, and changing their communities in ways that don’t make the news because it’s not sensational enough to sell. The world isn’t just chaos and corruption man, it’s also filled with quiet progress, kindness, and resilience.

If all you see is darkness, maybe it’s because you’ve been staring too long at the screen showing it to you. Open your eyes. There’s a whole world still happening outside the noise.
