Maybe this is a stupid question on a topic that has been beat to death a million times but, is humanity doomed to fail? I know that along with 'what is the meaning of life', this has to be one of the most unanswerable questions known to man but I cant help but wonder. I know there is a lot of good out there, my family and friends are great examples but I cant help be feeling that people are constantly shitty to each other. The level of respect and tolerance seems to keep dwindling and spiraling down and down. For example, I'm sitting here at a coffee shop updating my podcasts (I even bought a cup to justify stealing the internet, and might buy another depending on how long this blog ends up being) and within literally two minutes, I saw two separate acts of complete distain and unkindness. One wasn't so bad but the other made me want to take out a baseball bat and correct the manners of the transgressor with a swift blow to the head. I'm not really a violent or confrontational person but this was such an act of blatant disrespect that I actually got hot under the collar (but did nothing, enlightening the reader to the personality of the author). At one point I actually used to like people but the more I see this kind of shit the more I want to disappear to someplace off the grid, preferably near the ocean, I hear the sound of the surf has a calming effect.
I have heard that it is good for your mental health to thought kill at least one person a day. Whether this is true or not, I do not know but I have to say that I can neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not engage in this activity on a regular basis. The biggest question I have is, is it me, or them? I am I bothered by behavior more now because I am older and more preceptive, or am I bothered by it because it's getting worse? Am I becoming more like my grandpa, or is the world becoming more like the 12 year old boys that fight over the football at recess? I suppose if I had the answer I wouldn't be bitching in a blog to strangers. In fact, if I had the answer I think I would move to Fiji.
