    Wars, religion, kill, rape, steal, bully, destroy nature and animals, breed non stop. Population over 7 billion which is absolutely insane. Imagine 7 billion and still keep breeding. Do we do anything good in this world. When you meet people in this world you realise that most of them are evil and just want to hurt you in one way or another, I guess this is one reason that I don't want to interact with other as much and I am an introverted person as there is little positivity in this world from humans. There are a few good people but they are in the minority, also for some reason company managers seem to be genuine a**holes looking to put you down instead of telling you how can you improve yourself nicely, instead of accusing you and bullying you. No wonder suicide is at an all time high everywhere.

    Mention of company managers makes me curious. Did you recently get a poor performance review, OP?

    Cheer up, it's not them that is the problem, it's actually you.

    True sadly but I don't think you're right in saying that most individuals are evil. I'd say the opposite is true. Individually most of us are nice and good people. But as a species we suck, our hive mind is sh1t.

    Actually I haven't got that for years, however I hear stories of my friends working in retail and the abuse they get from the managers, I know this myself because I worked for half a year in retail and this made me extremely depressed. This current job I didn't have a problem yet and work for a few years.

    Its just enough to read the comments of some articles or even here. If there was no government then there would be horrific murder everywhere, you can see this rage when you read the comments after articles when someone murders someone, you read he deserves torture and killing in the most horrible ways. If there was no police then there would be killings everywhere which tells you deep inside that everyone would kill you given the chance. It's the law that is stopping them.

    Seems a bit strange to lament suicide and a growing population.

    That said other than religion which is the purest form of human evil, everything else you mention goes on in the animal kingdom, survival of the fittest and all that. Humans will always resort to that where recourses are scarce. The great shame in out culture is they're not and we could easily introduce more socialist elements but we can't get over our own begrudery. Still even then it's a truly wonderful time to be alive and the options are almost limitless for most.

    Incidentally we're at we're at 'peak child', the population will continue to grow until we hit 11 billion, then start to decline. We'll probably run out of antibiotics pretty soon so expect that number to sharply decline anyway.

    I try to be positive all my life then something happens or someone and destroys everything and you are back at zero. Life is ****, I feel so unlucky sometimes. I was happy once then something happened and someone from my family died, I got past that then something else happens and this always keeps happening. Like you look at the general population and see that they have great lives they have their perfect family and all other nice things while you look at your life and want to give up on it. Maybe I am just not lucky enough because I work and work but ****ty things keep happening outside of control.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Don't Chute!


    Living beings have basically one objective and that is to make more living beings so why should we stop breeding? Also I can safely say I've never met anyone evil so I don't really understand where you're coming from with this ridiculous thread.

    No one has a 'perfect life'. Only idiots brainwashed by social media who think that even 20% of the horse **** that's posted is in anyway a true reflection of anyone life. Everyone has set backs. My generation's (X) social media was 'Hollywood love' and it's the reason the divorce/separation rate is so high, but I digress.

    You've so many possibilities open to you ranging from having a good life doing feck all to going for any number of professions or trades. If you specifically don't like managers, Ireland has probably the worst in the world, go and do something for yourself.

    It really isn't and as soon as a basic level of education is introduced the population quickly levels off. If anything the human imperative is the maximisation of pleasure and minimisation of pain.

    Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't take internet user comments as a yardstick for people's toughness. Most of us turn into assholes or drama queens to some degree when sitting in front of a keyboard. But we're all very nice and quiet in real life. It's a social phenomenon. We all assume the worst about everyone on the internet and we all say things we'd never say to anyone face to face.

    Mostly by choice. By focusing on the negative you take those steps back to "zero".
    Life is ****,
    Nope it's not.
    I feel so unlucky sometimes.
    There are quite literally billions of people alive as we speak who were born into far more "unlucky" circumstances than you.
    I was happy once then something happened and someone from my family died, I got past that then something else happens and this always keeps happening.
    OK.
    Like you look at the general population and see that they have great lives they have their perfect family and all other nice things
    Eh no they don't. Or are you saying the "general population" doesn't have family members dying, or being ill, or being disabled, or facing financial ruin, marriage and relationship breakups and all sorts of negative life experiences? Eh No. Again. It would be a tad self centred and wildly lacking in perspective to think only you have these experiences.
    while you look at your life and want to give up on it.
    How one looks at one's life is what makes the ultimate difference.
    Maybe I am just not lucky enough because I work and work but ****ty things keep happening outside of control.
    So just like pretty much everybody else? In the end life can be good, life can be bad and it can swing from one to the other(though rarely completely in either direction). That goes for everyone. However being born in a western liberal culture with a lot of social support and where the chances of you going to bed hungry tonight are low means you, we, all of us won the life lottery.

    Your worldview colours your experiences and how you react to those experiences. They are not neutral or down to "luck". Change that worldview (therapy for example) and that worldview should change. I have personally found that the mantra "get over yourself" has worked wonders for me when I became - as I see it - self indulgent and wilfully lacking in perspective.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 376 ✭✭Ozzy


    Focus on understanding yourself better, if you want to help yourself. Use your mind to become aware of all your thoughts and feelings; try to develop and become proficient in mindfulness and vipassana meditation.

    This society is built on an egoistic foundation, whereby many things that are fake, devoid of substance or meaning, are given precedence.

    When you develop your understanding of the ego you can be more authentic with yourself and the people around you. Then what you say and what you feel will be harmonious, rather than the fractured discord that is there within the somnambulism of the illusion; this illusion being reinforced by all the societal power structures in place. You will operate from a place of love and selfless understanding rather than one of fear, selfishness and ignorance.


    Or exercise.

    I don't mean to sound patronising, OP, but your tone here seems quite despondent and negative. Maybe you should have a chat with someone you trust or maybe chat to your doctor about your feelings in case something else underlies this that you might be able to get help with.

    Life is really hard for most of us at times and sometimes it can outlast our ability to cope with it, but the bad times end and the good times are all the sweeter for it, if you let them be.

    I agree life is never easy and it can be a right bitch at times but it is also what you make it. Yes there are things that we have no control over and sad things will happen we will lose family and friends but thats why you should spend as much time as we can with the people close to us to value and appreciate them while they are here as none of us know when our time will come or anyone near us either. Then when the inevitable does happen at least we have good memory's to remember them by and it is also a part of life. We have to sometime have things like this unfortunately happen so we appreciate what really matters and let it makes us stronger and grow as a person.

    Most people are pretty decent imo. Id say humans on average are a bit selfish, and will do whats best for them . But if they can help somebody, as long as its not a big burden on them, then they usually will. not that bad is it

    Its true you know. That's why I like books. You're still interacting with a person when interacting with a book but you' re getting what should be the best of them, and no 'attitude' re: you and your failings. Bit bland, however, but can be just the ticket.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    We are a direct by product of nature on this planet. We share many behaviours like greed, aggression with other living creatures. That humans fight isn't unusual, every living thing fights, what's unusual about humans is that we cooperate so much. In comparison to other living things we're fairly nice, not only to each other but often to other animals. But yeah, we do fight, we are often cruel, but like I said, that's our animal nature.

    Humans are a blip, there's been natural disasters on this planet that make all the damage we've ever done look like chump change. Us damaging the planet is unenlightened animal behaviour that we've only really started (in the grand scheme of things) applying rational solutions to. It's going to take some time to change.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,180 ✭✭✭RiderOnTheStorm


    Many people are evil assho's, thats true. But the majority are grand, just hard working folk who worry about their kids, put out their bins on time and tut to themselves when they see people littering.

    There are worse things in this world, OP. Like cancer, ebola and the tsetse fly. Try to see the good, and just fake it until you make it. You will be surprised how effective this philosophy is.

    Hang in there, OP.... :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭222233


    I find people generally pleasant and warm, I try to remind myself that those who aren't so pleasant probably have a thousand battles I could never understand weighing them down. No one is born "evil" and no one is born wanting to "hurt" other people, conditioning and development will do that. We aren't the worst ever, we just exist in a really complicated era. Animals are much better then people though, definitely.

    I know how you feel, I really really do, I dont get why ppl are like that and why making fun or belittling others is so entertaining to others. Ive often thought that about suicide myself.

    Really grinds my gears when I say "I dont want to work/interact with ppl" Im told its just my RECENT bad experiences that are colouring my outlook( I assume they assume my non recent experiences have been just peachy) In my family of origin at least 3 members are hermitic by nature.

    Not sure what I can say to you to help you see the light a bit, I keep in mind what my eldest says about the ppl who bullied her in school because of her learning issues, "Damned if im going to commit suicide and give them reason to say, I always knew she was odd"
