A theme that seems to be hitting me these days, in the time I spend online, is that of hopelessness. A sense that a few year’s back the future looked a lot brighter than it does now. And how can we get by without hope? I would like to say something that you might consider radical.
Everything looked like it was falling downhill and it was. Housing costs were becoming ridiculous, but everyone thought that's a good thing, an investment. Every war was for bullshit scumbag reasons, but people didn't care much because it was "over there".
Arghhhhhh! I thought I was crazy because I had no hope.
But I knew that things aren't making sense and the reason for loss of hope was that most people couldn't freaking see reality.
That is a scary society to be in... It's like being surrounded by a cult. I suppose that's how it's always been in society.
But con-vid changed a lot of things. Now I'm seeing people doubt their cult leaders. So, naturally I feel hope in things.
I don't think it's artificial hope that they were high on.
It's a real hope that change can and will happen.
Thank you and others for helping people deal with their "growing pains" in this changing reality.
Hope is way overrated
Way before and during con-vid, I had no hope.

How about fuck beliefs too? The word belief by its very nature means something may or may not be true. What is this a frickin lottery?
