Have we gotten so cynical.....

I kinda feel like I should feel something other than jaded amusement at the failure of civilization, the pretentiousness of some and the imminent conflict that we will all lose.

[b]The Dude :[/b] Oh, yeah!

[b]The Stranger :[/b] I know that you will.

[b]The Dude :[/b] Yeah, well - the Dude abides.

[b]The Stranger :[/b] [i][to the camera][/i] The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.
@ElwoodBlues Lol….. good stuff.

I got to the point where I won't be disappointed when it all ends, I'll do my best to prevent it but for every person like me you know there's at least one person doing the opposite and complaining that everything is against them. I'll go down with a wry smile.

I was rooting for the downfall of humanity, but I'm trying to not be misanthropic anymore for spiritual reasons.

It's not working.
@GeistInTheMachine Misanthropy seems like it should be incompatible with a religion that teaches "love thy neighbor as thyself".

@bijouxbroussard It is. It's an old vice.
I’m honestly not feeling that amused, but rather sad. I’m looking at maybe 10-15 more years, and then I’m out of it.
But I have loved ones your age & younger. For your sakes I hope it won’t be nearly as apocalyptic as the conspiracy theorists like to predict.

@bijouxbroussard The conspiracy theorists delude themselves thinking they belong to some special enlightened minority that would thrive in it, possessing some kind of "forbidden knowledge" that nobody else has. Reality would be much, much uglier both for themselves and everyone else too.

You're still a kid for Christ's sake.
That isn’t cynical. That’s life.

Civilization/ has had every opportunity to change its/our ways. Greed has won out over kindness. All we need is Snake Plissken to press that button and end it all.
