Most of you will have taken one look at the length of this post and thought “I don’t have time in my busy important significant life to read this post”, some of you will think “Hmm, maybe its worth a scan over with my eyes” and very few of you will actually take the time to read what I have to say.
Let me begin by telling some stories, to help you understand me. The other day I saw a kid, of about 13, walking along in the snow, he had one arm out and was scooping all the snow off the wall next to him, the only flat surface around really. He scooped all of the snow off and onto the ground, and then proceeded to stamp it into slush, before walking away and starting on the next surface. This reminds me of the kid on the beach, who has to destroy another kids sandcastle simple because he is jealous, so, he waits and will either “accidentally” run through it, or wait until the owner walks away and simply jump up and down on it. Now as horrible as this is for the creator, the destroyer will be overcome with a sense of achievement, and the scary part is, we’ve all had the urge to do this, destroy someone else’s wok I mean.
As we grow up, we achieve no level of maturity, we simply scale things up, we will physically fight and verbally abuse those we are jealous of, we will vandalise their property, and in some cases actually kill those we envy.
Envy. It’s a sin. Envy. If we we’re, as the bible says, created in the eyes of god, then we have always been evil, for if we weren’t, Adam and Eve wouldn’t have taken the apple, in fact, “sins” wouldn’t even exist for we’d all be perfect.
So why o why did God give us free will. It’s a dangerous thing, we don’t help people of our own free will, we just play the world for our own personal gain.
The human race is an evil thing. It’s the most evil thing to plague this earth. We, have the intelligence to communicate, and yet we are the most destructive things on the planet.
Now if you are a believer in evolution, then you would be familiar with the idea of “survival of the fittest”. Well, we’re still here, so we’re the fittest. That would mean, we killed all those weaker than us in order to survive. I mean, we’re intelligent enough to survive, but rather than help those who weren’t, we simply let them die. We, are both the fittest, and the deadliest. If we have a war, the man with his fists, who has no intelligence, will lose to the man with military weapons, but why does the man with military weapons have them? To kill. We will kill anything that poses a threat to us, and most things that are different to us.
We live in a world where hate crimes are on the increase, murders, drugs, rape, domestic violence, bullying, corruption and suicide are all things we know, and we created. We are divided, into groups, like the Mods and rockers before us, the grungers and trendys now stand. The Naiveté of some people is sickening. 8 year old children who will shout “grunger” at a 20 year old man in baggy jeans, is a creation of a sick perception of what is acceptable in society, a product of bad breeding. Going back to what I said before about a creation in the eyes of god, I don’t think Adam had bling bling and Eve had her tongue pieced, but I’m sure if they did, they would have hated each other without knowing why.
The point is, children grow up to act like those around them. We are the only influence. Why anyone would want to bring a child into a world as sick and unforgiving as this is something that will perplex me for many years to come I am sure. The sick world we live in today was created by us.
Even the ones we love and protect are vulnerable to us. In fact, it’s the ones we love the most that we hurt the most. We don’t deserve anyone, we deserve to be alone, and suffering in the filth we created. If we are with anyone, we will simply create rivalry, hurt, jealousy and hate. The only time a group of people come together is when they have a bigger group of people to fight.
In short, we deserve nothing. We shouldn’t even exist, we are a plague, a virus, we spread and destroy. We have a choke hold on this world and we should just let it go. Because lets face it, we don’t care about anyone or thing but ourselves. And this world will end one day, inevitably, and we’ll be the cause, someone will push a red button to prove he wont surrender to another country. The empires will crumble, the innocents will die, and those just born into this world will be saved from the harshness of it. When the world ends, only then will people be at peace.
We live in a world of suffering, death and destruction, because of the human race. Human beings are a failure.

This is more or less what I was going to say. We tend to forget that our opinion of the world is influenced by the media, and the media prefer reporting the bad news because unfortunately it grabs peoples' attention more. I'm quite sure that if the media painted a pretty picture of our world, then many would think we live on a great planet rather than an evil one. Basically what I'm saying is, many of us are taken in by the bad things in life and through that we tend to ignore the good.

the level of cynism and negativity shown by pinko is remarkable,thank god not everyone thinks like that,there is good in this world, and we must work to bring it out in people and reward them when they show it.
too much emphasis is placed on the negative side of life,you sound like you have given up hope yet you recognise the problem and you care,so you cant have given up.
most people i hope would know the story of pandoras box,but for those who don't it was a box created by zeus he had warned epimethus not to open the box,but his warnings were ignored,when the box was opened out flew all the evil's of the world,and all that was left inside the box to save humanity was...

Survival of the fittest is about adapting to environmental change, not being the top of the food chain. It can therefore happen on many levels and is not just in relation to the 'top of the chain' species.
Comparing humans to a virus isn't a new idea, but it is flawed. Viruses are dependent on survival of their own cells against all other alien cells and will eventually destroy all other cells, but humans are dependent on other creatures and although from a pessimistic approach it can look like all we do is destroy, as a whole we also rescue, look after and even nurture other creatures.
Though there are those who would seek to destroy all, there are also those who seek to protect all, and this is the true bigger picture. It is true that negative news seems to travel faster than positive news and disaster, famine and evil 'sell' in the news business much better than acts of kindness, but you will find these in equal measure.
Many religions and societies believe in Chaos and Order (Yin and Yang of eastern philosophy) which states that for chaos to exist, there has to be order and vice versa. It is true that destruction exists on massive scales, but this is always weighed against great construction on both a physical and mental level.
As for the 'free will' aspect, how can someone be judged as good or evil unless they have the will to be one or the other? Free will is part of what makes us alive, whether you believe this to be God given or part of our genetic makeup.

Halls of time?!? This is the real world you know.
Hitler, Stalin etc. have lived their lives and have changed much about it in their lifetime. I guess their only punishment is that they no longer have any power to make a change to the world and its people as they did when alive.

I hope that there is some from of justice. How can the dictators like Hitler and his cronies (Himmler, Goebbels) and Pol Pot, as well as Stalin commit holocausts and not be punished? Basically thousands, millions die at their hand, and the dictators get away with it. I only hope that there is some form of immortal justice and that they will be tried in the halls of time for their heinious acts of murder.
I've always veiwed life, and the human race in this way, for as long as I can remember infact. Just tonight, I felt like expressing my feelings.
In which case, there's no where better either for the moment.
Ans why the pessimistic view on life all of a sudden?

True.
I'd like to believe there is a hell, because then it would suggest there is somewhere worse than this, but I dont beieve there is.
