Each day that flys by, how do you cope with all of the misery that this world brings. All that you hear in the news is some man killing his wife, gang killings, some maniac going postal killing dozens of people, bombings etc. Each day that goes by, I wonder that if there is truly no creator (I'm agnostic I guess) then whats the point in it all. I guess if there is no higher power, then there is technically no point and that we are evolutionary organisms.
Sometimes people wonder why I'm not goal oriented or ambitious, I just say whats the point. We are doomed to kill ourselves through nuclear weapons anyway. Our history is dark. The holocaust, purpopsely injecting diseases in african americans long ago, intentionally letting radiation out onto a city just for an experiment to see what it does, it just makes everything so...hopeless.
I've heard people say "You don't need a creator, just give yourself purpose". Sorry. For me that doesn't work. I can't put myself into self ignorance that way. That would be me trying to rationalize that I'm special. I'm not and if there is no creator, then no one is. I realize nobody is really special. The universe is so vast that this planet is a tiny little sand grain, just a pebble. Just existing through the accident of evolution. So much chaos and death *sigh*. What is wrong with the human species and this planet.
The price of gas is rising, the cost of living is rising, our politicians and people in power are corrupt and psychopaths (same could be said for ALL world leaders, not just in a certain country). Really, what is the point. Everything is just..hopeless. The way our society is so superficial and shallow as well. People putting too much emphasis on clothes, how certain people look , the crap on TV ( I don't watch it, but hear about it). I mean, really?
I guess I think about this so much because losing loved ones is the hardest thing to deal with in life. All the chaos in this world, I think of the all the people that not only lost their lives, but their loves ones as well. Its just so depressing. The only thing I can really do is continue to treat people the way I wanted to be treated, just focus on me, I can only control myself. But sometimes its just so hard when you hear or see that news headline of a lunatic doing something so heartless.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this and how you cope.
Also, does anyone else feel the same way perhaps? Peace.

You know, it really doesn't matter. You might decide that life is pointless and that there's no purpose, but so what? Chances are that you still like things such as videogames, running water, internet access, a comfortable air conditioned home, and the occasional chance to get laid. Which means that god or no god, you're still gonna have to go to work, pay your bills, and keep yourself presentable unless you want to turn into some kind of bum.
