I used to have once respected international groups of people, admiring different cultures and the like. That was until I've been around enough people in my life where it has made me think that maybe it is okay that we go without this culture and these people. Like African Tribes.
Used to have been that edgy Atheist who'd tell you God isn't real and listen to constant Carlin-related tangents about religion. But as a lover of mythology, I accept Christianity as just simply a mythology, might be some of the most boring and batshit of mythologies, but still nonetheless. As for a stance on whether or not a God or Gods exist enough to believe in them and devote my livelihood to them, is a matter of "Don't know, don't care".
I wanted so hard to really believe in change, hope, having faith for a better tomorrow and having cautious optimism for society to get up on its feet. Enough to address and deal with the issues at hand that plagues us. But as I see more and more, including myself, just continue to take in and do next to nothing about all of our problems. That kind of way of thinking and believing is all about gone. The 2020 pandemic for example, really cratered my respect for minimum slave-wage workers when they could've right then and there, have stopped working and throw big rich companies into chaos. They didn't, they just meme'd online instead and internally scream themselves into working as they're facing a pandemic while being told they're "essential".
Once believed in karma, least a little while. But then it is like, I've done things in my life to people that I didn't suffer that bad of a repercussion over and seen others do worse and get nothing for it. It is like, this is the fabric of what people believe so hard in that they think will bite politicians in the ass for. But nothing continues to happen so I don't buy it anymore.
