Life...
What people never get is life is fucked up. So many Christians think if you pray hard enough, if you worship loud enough, if you love strong enough, and if you idolize God religiously enough, you will get into heaven. And that will make all our struggles worth it.
No, what people don't get is life is hell. People kill each other over sports, women, drugs, and lies. People will destroy you in less than a heartbeat if the reason or the money is right. And people will abuse everything too: animals, nature, cars, friends. People are cruel.
There's that argument that there are good people, and that not everyone is inherently evil. And this is true. But what people fail to accept is that there are a great number of bad people in the world a great shortage of good ones. And we're too bus mocking each other to really want to make a difference.
Remember when trolling was a shunned thing? When people who trolled were called bullied, or were sent to counseling? There really was a time when internet trolls were put down every day. But then we just gave up. Remember when school bullies would go to counseling too, or sometimes jail? Remember when we had correctional institutions where kids would go through a training program until they were exhausted, retrained, and sorry for what they did? Yea we don't care about that anymore either.
These days, people hide behind the excuse that it cannot be stopped, or it's too big for us. Drinking is socializing now, and smoking and drugs are common. Most people know a USER or a DRUNK. And they just accept it. Most people know a suicidal person and they refuse to get them help. You know there's a phone number you can call to put them into a mental institution? Sure it might not be the sweetest thing you can do, but it will make them better. And they may hate you for it. But trust me, they need that kind of help.
And then we have our government. We had a chance to completely fix our government problem. And we didn't just failed, we rolled over and asked for seconds. We let the worst possible choice become our president, and didn't take our big chance to change the course of our government policies. Here's a handy link for you.

I could write a book on how fucked up people really are, but for a blog's sake I'll cut it short. People need to wake up and realize that nobody cares. Then dwell on that realization for a while, meditate on it. Then think about those who really do care. It's not that many, maybe one or two or three. But you have at least one real friend in your group of "followers" that really supports you. Find those people in your life and thank them for being there for you. They really deserve the gratitude for not being one piece of this life-long hell we all live in.
