I’ve always been an idealist. I cannot imagine how life fe is possible without a strong set of beliefs and aspirations that aren’t related to your personal gain and wellbeing…. I naively thought that all humans, or most of us, at least, hold ideals and hopes that transcend our personal or our immediate family’s needs. I find so difficult to accept that all those debates that humanity has been having for millennia were irrelevant to the vast majority of the population who seem bogged down with daily mediocrity, personal anxieties and social pressure.
However, at 53, I am starting to really dislike human beings, perhaps dislike is not the right word.. It’s a feeling of deep disappointment with my fellow humans. Perhaps we are a hopeless race still with a cave mentality caring only about our own desires and traumas instead of thriving to leave a better world for generations to come …
The internet has, of course, turned everything upside down as it’s thrown out entrenched social norms and interactions by creating our bubbles of reality that only relates to us in the narrowest sense possible. .
as things are going? I think I will renounce my human race membership and transition to a moth.
