It's a sign of a general feeling of hopelessness and misery among the lower middle class.

It's a sign of a general feeling of hopelessness and misery among the lower middle class.

I'm noticing now after being subjected to years of relative isolation, then going out into the world again, and ultimately followed by more isolation that life is pretty darn boring. A lot of people just use drugs as a way out. If suicide were something painless, this planet would be empty, too.

It's kinda like the Joker. Even if I were to have a lil bit of money, I wouldn't know what to do with it. What am I supposed to do? Go to the theater? I could rent a movie and watch it at home more comfortably, and avoid being surrounded by judgmental people or being stiffed for money by companies. A restaurant? Same thing. My gf could make better food for much cheaper, and it'd last longer, too. Who's going to pay 60 dollars just to eat a plate of food, man? Are we morons or something?

Only way anything would change for me is if I had lots of money and could buy land. Even then, land is only great because it keeps you away from people, like psycho neighbors. I'd like to have land, keep away from society, grow my own food, and just run through the forests like Wilder. It'd be a semi-peaceful way of going out.



Other than that, I don't know, man. There's just nothing to do on Earth. Traveling might only be good for exploring nature, because people are people anywhere you go. Cultures change, but the essence of humanity does not.

There's just no reason to be here. It's a big waste of time. I already realize that I'm in the "loser" category of life, which most people are, whether they accept/know it or not. That's basically it for me. There's no purpose. So why am I around? That's why I say the universe is evil.

Those are some solid thoughts. I think that too, that a lot of what people do is just to distract them from how pointless and helpless their existence is.

Exactly, man. From drugs, religion, greed, to even women, people are just looking for distractions from reality. Reality is when you're sitting there lonely and without purpose, yet knowing that people are no good. Everyone runs away from that. Living is like a waiting room at a doctor's office; people don't want that feeling.

I agree. No sympathy for drug addicts. I do feel bad for the families though.

To be fair to some, some were handed a prescription by a doctor who said, "these are what you need." Borderline malpractice, really.

Our society Godifies doctors and people treat their word like God himself said it.

Well yeah and it's good that it's heading that way.

I guess a similar thing happened with barbiturates and benzos a few decades ago.

Once all the dangers were publicly known things changed.
