The universe is spreading and the earth will be a cold broken marble someday just like all the rest. The only thing that could save us if we find a way to create an energy source as powerful as the sun to keep us going but even then, I'm sure there are other factors.

You are just like me. I read about the atrocious things people do in the news and it makes me want to vomit.

But then...

I start to think. I'm a pretty okay person and the world has more 'me's' than vile creatures that pass off as human. How do I know this? Well, because even though there are lot of baddies out there there are always more good otherwise we would be hearing even more bad news.

Also, someone here made a good point once after a thread I started with essentially the same sentiment. And they said that no one is all good or all bad. And some very bad people have probably done some really good things too so it is all factored in and just as their bad started a ripple effect, so did their good ones.

Yeah, I know, it's a stretch but it does make sense. Personally, I think we are a bit of mistake--the human species. Our big brains are a metabolic expense like no other creature. Many of our mental health problems are not in the primal part of our brains which means that essentially these brains have been a cost to us evolutionary-wise as much as they have been a help.

Anyway, cheer up. This picture is how you feel about humans right now but you'll have a better day and you will get some perspective but for all it's worth. I feel you. <3
