What are your thoughts on Humanity during this Pandemic?

I've learned that life will always be a constant war between good and evil. During this pandemic I've seen a lot of good. People working together and risking their life's to help fight this virus. From Doctors, Nurses, Police, Firefighters, Grocery Store workers etc.... the list goes on. There's also many people volunteering to provide food and other things to people who need it. However I've also seen a lot of greed and selfishness. From people using this as a way to benefit financially to people refusing to stay home when they don't need to go out.

I live in NYC which has the most cases in America, I continue to see people gathering in large crowds to play sports, party, and just hangout. I don't like stay homing myself, however I would rather stay home for a couple to a few months rather than push this thing along further. I would sacrifice not going out so life can somewhat return to normal. Even though there's a Pandemic on going people are still commenting crimes of violence despite hospitals being overwhelmed. Just yesterday there were 4 shootings in the city.

Its times like this that people need to put their difference aside and work together. Because that's the only way we can get through this. This Pandemic has changed my life and helped me realized who I am and what is really important in the world and life. Which are Family, Friends and the bonds we have with each other. I've spent 10 yrs of my life chasing the wrong things and following the wrong path. And I pray everyday that my past does not follow me. I've just began to change my life around and hopefully live up to my full potential.

I gave up on humanity long ago and this just confirms everything even more. Human driven climate change and resource extration is far far worse than this virus and humanity responds to it in the same way. Too little too late and even when it's too late most people just ignore it going on business as usual.

@Earthwrap I see your point, but I still have some hope in humanity and hope one day the good will outweigh the bad.

@kydflash I've been hopeing that all my life. I first thought deeply about it back in 1998. About 5 or more years ago I finally had enough to just give up on that completely though.

@Earthwrap Honestly I can't blame you. Whenever I start to give up on humanity. I always think of Pandoras Box and how when opened, all the worlds evil was let out. But on the bottom of the box read the word "Hope". I've come to realize that Hope is the last thing to die. Hopefully one day my friend your faith in humanity will return.

@kydflash nope. hope becomes a more negative value all the time. The more you learn... My only goal in life now is to be as self sufficient as possible and separated from this nightmare of a species. I live my life in an ethical, sustainable, and positive way as possible but unfortunantly it is very unpopular these days and very lonely.
