I Lack Faith In Humanity
For some years now, I have been less and less interested in socialising more with people, as I've seen community, family and moral values depleted to virtually non-existent too often.
I really think the current Corona situation puts a spotlight on various factors, and although this is grim, I'm posting it anyway - as I did in response to a question just now, but I'm putting my own modified copy up on my profile too :(
Well given that antibiotics have been becoming less effective for some years now, possibly due to overuse and bacteria adapting to them, this kind of medical problem (although I know Covid-19 is a virus, not bacteria) has been looming for years. Same as environmental problems have been looming for years. I think what will eventually finish off us humans - and personally, I don't see more than a couple more generations of humanity left - is the immense selfishness and consequent ignorance of effects of anything except on oneself immediately. These attitudes won't sustain a society.
At the moment we have young folk blatantly and proudly flaunting guidelines for social distancing because they're not in the vulnerable group, oblivious to the risks this puts others into. Luckily these idiots are not running governments yet. When it comes to their time, if they haven't wised up... I say no chance. No chance at all. I can see their stupidity resulting in anarchy because just as they don't seem to have much respect for authority, I doubt they will raise offspring to have any either. With the majority of people lacking in basic decency, I'm glad by then I'm not likely to be around.
