Everyday i wake up with this sorrow, knowing that I’m going into a job I despise, to do what exactly? Nothing of worth. I pay bills, entertain myself on my time off and go back to work.. no prospects, no vision for a future. When I think about what I’ll be in 10 years I picture a hole in the ground. And yet I get home, I lay down, and I have a roof over my head, food to eat, a loving girlfriend, etc etc… so much I’m taking for granted. When I think of all the family I’m losing in my shitty 3rd world country of origin I feel guilty.. when I think of all the kids dying of starvation I feel guilty. When I think anything in my life matters whatsoever I feel guilty..
why would I possibly want more when I have everything I should need right here right now..
“I’m so lucky, yet I forget I’m still hungry, for the future”.
Alas, that’s not our nature, we always crave more, that’s how we get the billionaires of the world, still longing for diamonds while having a fortune to last the rest of their life and the life of the next 1,000 people in their bloodline. We all judge them as the monsters they are but in the same position I’m sure I’d do the same.
Often I’ve been told how much of a good person I am, the people I help, the ones that love me, I hear it all the time and it makes me wonder what good really is if I fit the category.. I’m a total piece of shit, selfish beyond belief, hateful, spiteful, full of lust and gluttony. Then I realized, it’s all of us. Every single one of us is terrible in our own right, for all our potential we are all capable of being the monsters we read about. The Stanford prison experiment was conducted on normal dudes, slave owners were just regular guys capable of love and caring, even now we have a masked armed militia wrangling up children and destroying families and they’re just regular dudes, capable of all sorts of loving and hateful things.
And even if you tried to argue that not everyone is like that then what? We’re just supposed to live among the people who are? Atleast a third of this country is openly okay with that kind of hate and destruction, am I supposed to believe they’re all monsters? Just stay away from them? If we’re not all like that then what exactly is the solution considering those who are like that always inevitably end up in positions of power anyway? We’re Doomed regardless. The good die young and poor.
I often think about leaving everything. Every comfort I’ve ever known, every safety net, this damned city. I think about packing up all my things without a plan and driving into some distant horizon where I’ll have no choice but to be on my own, survive or die.. make a living on my own, earn my existence, DO SOMETHING WITH THIS LIFE… yet I’m a coward.
So I’ll continue to live in my misery until I inevitably put one in my head and complete my self fulfilling prophecy of being a pathetic waste of space, amounting to nothing of much worth.
Not out of sadness but out of a realization that life just isn’t worth living.. it’s all momentary bliss followed by indefinite suffering. Where the measure of success seems to be being a wage slave and creating offspring to bring into this misery and create their own loop of misery. Where every good effort one could make will be inevitably overshadowed by some cartoon villain with infinite money. Where all roads lead to suffering.. maybe once my trip to rock bottom is complete I’ll finally leave it all behind and spend my last days just seeing what this country has to offer besides misery, before my funds run out and I’m reminded that the only worth I’ll ever have is as a slave to a system I was never meant to fit into. Always the boy with broken hope. A miracle child, who survived a miraculous premature birth just to end it all knowing it was all for nothing. The tears my loved ones will cry will be lost to time like I will. That’s the peace I want.. to not exist.
I often think about God.. Maybe I’m just meant to be a BlissfulDoomer aware and appreciative of the beauty and potential of the world, but resigned to the fact that the evil forces at play are more powerful and our imminent destruction is the only true outcome of our path, a lesson for a future species perhaps.. maybe we will be the fossils others will find to guide their less toxic and consuming species. I know there is no future for us, but perhaps the beauty in my life is enough, perhaps I live my life just enjoying what I can, appreciating it all before we collapse on our own greed. Maybe we are just the failed science project of a creator just trying to find out what true potential is .. if that were so we would be the last experiment before the breakthrough, the last failed subjects before the creator has their eureka moment and finally figured it out. . So close to being, something beautiful, but not quite right.. infested with destruction that consumes all beauty. Best thing to do now is throw us away, and start over with the new lessons, because we… we just don’t deserve what we’ve been given
