Okay, not quite as catchy as some titles, but hey look at the material I have to work with here...
Didn't sleep well last night- still feeling fairly shitty. Still got some good thinking in, as always. Not about anything of note, just generic thinking on reality, perception, the usual sort of thing.
So, today's thoughtful bit:
I sometimes despair of the human race- every day I see people not thinking about anyone other than themselves, or just not thinking. I mean, if people just took a little time to think about the effect their actions, then surely the world would be a better place.
But the prevelant attitude seems to be, "Well, it benefits me, so it's okay".
*sigh*

Date: 2003-09-10 09:42 am (UTC)My point is: how do you know they're not thinking? Or caring? I'm not being snide, I really am curious as to why you think the "human race", as a whole, doesn't 'do' altruism or consideration. You've seen the twatty actions, but have you seen the motivations behind the twatty actions? Does anyone ever?
I'm guessing you've had a pretty shit few weeks/years/whatever, and I sympathize,but you're going to have a shit life if you write off the human race as a result.

Date: 2003-09-10 09:50 am (UTC)I haven't written off the human race. If I had, I would do something about it.
I am optimistic and hopeful about individuals in general, and I am frequently disappointed.
Anyway, I can't get my points across properly in this medium, so we'll have to continue this next time we meet.
