So I assumed you had mental health issues. My bad.

In my short period of time here on earth I've seen a lot of amazing things come out of humanity. I've been the opposite of sheltered in my life and I've seen a lot of shitty people do a lot of shitty things but the potential for goodness in the human race far outweighs the shittiness in my eyes. It seems to me that so much more good happens in the world than bad, otherwise we would not have gotten this far. If there were more bad than good, I'm pretty sure things would be much much worse all over the world. There is an undeniable trend of progress as time goes on in our society.  Then again, I'm a perpetual optimist.

I do have neurological problems.  I think that makes me very pessimistic about life.  Also I observe what happens around the world and it makes me sad.

So the reason you lost hope in humanity is because of a lack of proper brain chemistry? See a psychiatrist dude, life is beautiful and if your brain chemistry was not messed up you could see that.


If the above isn't the full reason, or even if it is, I'm honestly intensely curious as to your rational and though process behind losing hope in humanity, if you'd like to elaborate I'd love to hear it.

This thread is awesome...
I can relate with both sides here. In the past 6 or so years I have really woken up. I use to think life was great, things were always getting better, there was some magical god pulling the strings and everyone had to behave... I never really fully trusted the government or even the worlds governments and power holders , but I did a lot more back then than now.
First it started with my lack of faith in school and the lies about how marijuana is such a "terrible" drug. Then I went into a depression in life that caused me to start getting interested in science, history, philosophy, psychology, ect. And use my brain. At the time I started using LSD (age of 16, don't recommend it. Too young.) And I had a religious friend who otherwise is a really intelligent individual (No offense to the religious folk). He had the most logical rational way (if there is such a thing) describing Christianity to me through science and history, ect.. but I still had soon many questions unanswered. Then I started to really use my brain and I eventually became an atheist. At this point in life I took a big look at the world. The corruption, the violence, the wars, the society full of people who just don't don't care.. and I saw the world for what it was for the first time in my life.
Don't get me wrong, the world is beautiful. But its equally as ugly. The thing is, you can't loose hope in the human race and just give up. If all good people just gave up, stopped caring, and said this is not my problem, society would collapse. We need good people trying to make a good peaceful change. Like Howard Zinn said, you can't be neutral on a moving train.

You guys are all such negative nancies. You know it's much better to be unswervingly optimistic at all times regardless to how shitty you feel. That way, nobody can tell that you're dying inside until you someday epically lose your shit and they institutionalize you.

I hate pretending like I feel good when I don't.  As my kindergarten teacher said, "Honesty is the best policy".
