  • Just people in general who are unaware of how their actions affect others negatively, in any and all aspects of life. Especially when out in public, of course. At the grocery store, at the mall, in the parking lot, while driving, when talking, when online, every goddamn thing.

    There are countless small things that are simple to avoid yet cause significant inconvenience to others. Or on the flip side, simple things to do, that would mean very much to another person.

    Just think about your surroundings, treat everyone with kindness, respect, and give them the benefit of the doubt. Be welcoming. That’s what makes/would make the world go around, and a nice place to live in.

    But people live in their goddamn individualism bubbles and are completely oblivious. Sometimes people will be walking towards me in the street, perhaps two or three people side by side. And they’ll fucking walk straight at me and I’ll have to literally stop in my tracks to avoid colliding with them. Literally a few feet apart will they realize we will collide unless they change their trajectory. Mind you they won’t apologize or realize they inconvenienced me. No. No, they’ll just realize that they need to swerve unless they want to collide. And I know they see me from afar, because sometimes we’ll even have eye contact and shit. Idiots.

    People, man. Why it gotta be this way. 🤌
















  • I on the other hand also agree with you now, that a swift change in politics can definitely upend an entire nation and affect several generations to come.

    But when we have children, we go into it with a lot of risk. The child might be born with disorders, develop crippling phobias, be bullied, get cancer. We never know what might happen. I might get run over by a car on my way to work tomorrow. But I can’t live my life thinking “what if” all the time. We have to keep going and have to keep fighting for a better life. Or work to maintain a good life we might already have.

    Or at least that’s a drive that a lot of humans have. It’s in the nature of the majority of people I would guess. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here, because our ancestors would’ve already cut the chain. Life is fuckin’ hard, quite frankly. And if that drive wouldn’t be there, it wouldn’t be worth it. 😅 Sharing it with people you love is what makes it worthwhile IMO.

    Thanks for a good talk 😊

    In some countries you are a disease away of financial bankruptcy. Good luck being able to 100% guarantee a living.

    Yup, but far from everywhere.

    Furthermore, this is the first generation that is worse off than the previous one

    Strong doubt 🤨 Which generation are we talking about? Lots of wars and plagues and stuff in history have made a generation of people worse off than their parents. That obviously didn’t stop us from procreating.

    Maybe I’m a pessimist, but introducing a child into this roulette is not the kindest if you think about it.

    Definitely are, or maybe more accurately a perspectivist, if that’s a thing. There are lots of countries and societies where bringing children up is not a “roulette” or “child abuse”. Everyone I know has good means and nothing but love for their children, in spite of (sometimes harsh) difficulties.

    And we are more emotionally aware of ourselves and our children in this generation than ever before. For the first time, a generation of parents are raising themselves and their children simultaneously. It’s very emotionally and mentally taxing but it’s a very good step in the right direction. We are listening to our kids and understanding their needs.

    Have a good day, try not to generalize a (personal?) bad situation. ❤️
