I really don't understand paranoid people. I mean, here they are with perfectly good lives that they could be enjoying, and they choose to worry about shit that they can't control, and will never be able to control. They always seem to be really good at producing all these alarming facts about how fucked up the world is, but they never ever want to do anything about it. I'm not saying they should either, but it just seems to me that if nothing is wrong then you should just try to enjoy your life, and then if something does go wrong then deal with it when it happens. Or even better, don't deal with it and just accept that it happened and it's perfectly okay. Honestly, if something unthinkably horrible happens, then chances are you won't be able to avoid it anyway-- the only difference is that in the meantime you ruined your life by worrying about everything. I'm not even saying you shouldn't be informed, just that certain kinds of information are like poison and are honestly just not worth knowing. You can lay down the whole 'ignorance is bliss' thing or whatever-- but the fact is I'm capable of enjoying my life without worrying about shit and nothing bad has happened yet. Fucking hell people, you can walk around your own town/city whatever and probably notice enough interesting things in a single day to make you happy. Good things are everywhere, if you're looking for them. They don't even have to be good, heartwarming things-- they can just be weird things that are so completely about where you are that you can actually come to an understanding about what kind of place you're in and how you fit in there or how it all works. Really people, the only thing that actually matters is what's in front of your face. If you see fascist dictators marching down the streets, then do something about it. But if you walk down the street and you only see streets, WHY would you want to do anything about it?? If you fly to fucking China and see all the sweatshops and you feel appalled, then maybe you should do something about that too, but if you just want to sit back, watch the news, read the poisonous shit that the media feeds you everyday and believe the world is shitty and terrible and tell everyone else how shitty and terrible everything is, then you might as well not even be alive, because you're doing way more harm than good.
yeah, i think you're talking to a lot of "all talk, no action" (mabey they should go into politics) types. i hear ya, brother
