I've basically given up.

Yes, I still raise my kids right and jump through all the hoops, but my faith in humanity is gone.

None of what is happening will end well.

I see no hope.

I've been the same way, my entire life.

Even since I was a little boy, being empathic, I could always sense when people (adults) were lying... and it was always.

Just doing the math, figuring things out and seeing things out exponentially and you didn't need to be a rocket scientist or mathematician to know that the way society was progressing, that population, resource consumption and automation and technological advances would make it so that time didn't exactly equal money in the traditional sense of labor vs. money. On top of that, I would argue that one person's worth of 15 minutes or an hour didn't necessarily equal that of another person's equal time, especially when that person worked 20 or 50 times harder.

If this smug attitude of "work smarter, not harder" was adopted by EVERYONE, then there would be nobody to cut your lawns, cook your food, remove your trash and instead, everyone would flake out and become motivational speakers, yoga instructors or similar.

But instead, one of the worst qualities of man (second to vanity that drives it) is greed. Even those who state that they have no "ulterior motives" are often driven by something if when looked at closely, is exactly that... personal interest and self preservation (the "I got mine" mentality).

The ONLY thing that makes sense... and this one really spins my mind... is that there is a creator (God) and purpose to this all. That if this is merely a simulation, then it is as f'd up as playing the SIMS and locking one of them in a room with no bathroom, food or way out, for sheer sadistic humor and entertainment.

Looking at nature, DNA, the elements, electricity and other phenomena and no... God is greater than anything man or woman can comprehend. If anything, we truly are facsimiles of that creator, but because we lack specific information that has been hidden from us (and replaced with misinformation and half truths) we aren't able to be the complete beings we are to evolve into it would seem (again, would seem).

On the other hand, the way things are right now, might all be scripted, for what reason and I would never bother to guess anymore as "What ifs" are like puppies and unicorns at this point, a distraction from reality.

I'm not a pessimist, I see MUCH beauty in the world around me, on social media and more. Sometimes, before I close my eyes to sleep at night, I'll ask to see what is going on around the world at that exact moment and it's quite fascinating.

How many people are giving birth at that moment and how many are dying.

How many are having sex or crying because they are alone.

How many are buying a coffee and just starting their day, while many of us are going to bed and sleeping here after 2AM til whenever.

Who is cooking and eating (I saw billions in Asia and India last night, it's mind boggling as to how much chicken and fish that gets consumed, daily) and who is lacking proper food and care at the same time.

Who is dancing, creating art, writing music, poetry and more.

And the point of it is, there are trillions, upon trillions, upon trillions of events going on (not to mention what is happening nature, the insect, animal and aquatic kingdoms) concurrently, at any given moment... and then if you enter in the "possibility and most likely) spiritual, inter-dimensional and/or subterranean or extraterrestrial worlds and man, there is A LOT of f'ing activity happening on this one hot spot (possibly the ONLY spot) in what we are told is a solar system, galaxy or universe.

For me, I won't limit myself in thinking that this is the ONLY place for life in the entire meta of all things (God's mind or metaconsciousness), as I wouldn't presume to try and out think God, nor think that anything I believe is true (even our eyesight and hearing is limited to a certain range of vibration and spectrum wavelengths) and even now, I am only pondering all of these things.

What I will say, that I truly believe in my heart IS the objective (and why pain is allowed for us to steer away from anything less than or the antithesis of) is to learn what love is. That is, LOVE IS THE ONLY CURRENCY. It is a sacrifice at times, where time doesn't equal money and effort isn't rewarded as such. Love is about going beyond and serving all others, in order to serve the greater purpose, while at the same time, serving oneself beyond lesser, carnal and banal things.

That's it, I'm done... but I have a sense and understanding of where you are at OP as my son is starting college in a week, on scholarship and with many good things in his current life, but I don't see the next 2, 5, 10 or 20 years as being a good period for many on this planet, of any age, at the current rate of things and current event of things, let alone, the internet and A.I. of things at this very moment.

I pray, and have faith and knowing, that God is ultimately in charge, can't be fooled and ALL will be revealed in a manner that will enlighten everyone... Selah.

That's exactly what they want!

I'm not playing!

Just like COVID.

There's lots of work to do people!

Just keep rejecting their narrative and dismiss every single tenet!

Think about it. Their way is off a cliff and more people are seeing things for what they are.

We need everyone to stay focused on the battles at hand but the best way is keep smiling and keep rolling forward and most importantly never give an inch!

We have zero choice but to fight!

Congratulations.

It’s never too late to give up all hope!

Lol, I was a ranch kid.

It was hard work, but I miss those times.

I really hate this world.

With all my heart.

how dramatic

Nobody is - that's the reason for Jesus.

Being a Christian, I see nothing but hope... everything happening is Biblical, and we know the end of the story.

Perspective change might be needed.

Try to be.

I'm not a good one, by any means.

Yes, I still raise my kids right and jump through all the hoops, but my faith in humanity is gone.

Op we are at the cusp of a new cycle. Purification is never easy and the worst is yet to come but so is the best.

fear for what will happen to children and grandchildren

paralyzes me
