Does anyone care that the world is in a downward spiral to hell. We have wars all over. People dont stop and say hello anymore, hold a door open to help a person, No one see's a guy walking in 100 degree temp on a long road and decides to help his day by given him a lift. Then people that actually know a bit about life will agree that life is a beautifull thing. So in the oposite angle losing a life must be the worst. Yet we still have wars, gang shootings, and people that get pissed cuz a guy said the wronge thing. But what do we do when we hear about it? Nothing cuz everyone feels its not there problome. It makes me sick to even to watch the news. All you hear every day is about someone being raped, shot, stabed, kidnapped, beat to critacal condition, drunk driving, or things about gangs. If that doesnt make you think about how the world will be in 10 to 20 years than fine fuck off. You probably dont have a mature and polite bone in you body to care about anything. But I bet if something bad happend to you someone out there would feel sorry for you. I just thing that the world will destroy itself and no one will even care do you know why? Cuz thats what its doin right now.
 
Nice outlook on life there guy. Sorry you only know assholes. There are good things happening every day, but you don't hear about it because bad things sell better. I have helped people on the side of the road manny times. my squadrin helped the relife effort after katrina. There is a video on my site about it.

I am sorry that you feel the way that you do, but unless you look for the good things, you won't see any.
 
Yeh, I agree to Leehype to an extent. Bad things sell better so my advice would also be to look for more good things in life. Don't watch as much of the news.

Also, there have been wars, murders, rapes, poverty, extortion, greed, organised crime etc for thousands of years of recorded history. I don't think it's getting any worse except that we have the means to do a lot more damage to each other now where war is concerned.

The medieval times in England for example, were fucking terrible. Average lifespan was 40 years, there were "Holy" wars going on in the middle east, rape and murder were rife, the monarchy was greedy and extorionate and the only real way for peasants to get enough money to get out of poverty was in gangs and crime.

So don't worry about the state of the world in another 10 or 20 years. It'll be overall no more, and no less shit, probably.

So yeh... look for the good things in life. Or if it makes you feel better, get out there and try to do something. Volunteer somewhere, or try to raise political awareness in your local community.
 
Well, if you think things are really so bad, go volunteer. Otherwise you're just that guy who doesn't do anything because it's not your problem.

And remember, the news reports on the worst of the worst storries or the oddball ones like a 8 month old kitten busting a fake vet because it's strange and people will be interested.

I hold doors for people. I had a guy hold a door for me and my girlfriend last night.

The world is what the world is and it's HUMANITY that's going to shit. But we've always been doing that and always will be. Apparently it's a really long road.
 
You should move to the south, if what you want is everyday courtesies such as people holding doors and such. Of course, I've noticed that there tend to be more "genuine" people in the north. I'd rather know off the bat you dislike me for something than have you smile and tell me to have a nice day then rip me to shreds to others once I leave the room. So, I guess with every positive there's a negative. It's life.
 
common courtesy isn't very common, but if more people tried to make it so it'll be so. please and thank you and pardon me seem to be lost phrases these days, but i try to use them a lot.

i also call people on their rudeness when i'm out and about. like people who try to crowd into an occupied elevator right when the doors open; "excuse me, but you should let people out before you barge in."

try it, it's fun. people mostly apologize.
 
I know people have the ability to be good and that many people are its just that there is more bad out there than the good. When its easier to get a gun than it is to help a child by adoption. Thats the world I hear about and know of and yes I do help others with kindness like please thanks and pardon me. I just think that more and more people are turning to crime and war and less and less to helping others in a simple jester or throwin someone a few cents just cuz there short changed. Thats the world I see and will see till I die.
 
That's a shame, because that's the world you're choosing. I see my kids playing with the pets we have. I see them playing in the yard with the other children. I see my oldest daughter growing into the most amazing specimen of human I've ever seen. I see her wanting to make a difference in someone's life through music. I see her friends talents and abilities that just amaze me.

I see neighbors that greet and wave to me. I see smiling faces from the places I used to work when I bump into them. I see happiness and love and hope in my life. Why? Because it's what I choose to look for. I see the stuff you do, I just don't surround myself with it. If you sit and dwell on it, well that's all you'll get accomplished. Get out and change your environment. My neighbors only started greeting and smiling at me after I took the first step. Yes, people need some encouragement nowadays, but down deep the desire is there.

You want it to change? Make the first step. You may not end all the wars in the world or crime but atleast you'll make your own microcausm of the world in which you live in a more pleasing place to live. If enough people did this, who knows perhaps things could change, if not, atleast you and those around you will be happier. Our own daily existence and those involved in our lives are all we really have. That's, in my opinion, the meaning of life.
 
You'd be amazed how infectious a smile can be. Try it out sometime. Passing someone on the street or at work/school/whatever, just give them a bright smile and say "good morning/evening/afternoon". I can almost gaurantee you'll get a smile and similar response in return.
