Do you really see a shitty world out there?

This has been an interesting thread to read, although it has filled me with terror at times. I see the world as pretty 50/50. I try keep my part clean.Dublin 2006

the world is going to get a whole lot uglier when China's military is bigger and mightier than that of the US and they start invading countries in the Asia/Pacific with their military.Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140

Many of these worries are “newsroom worries”. I’m sure some of them are truly threatening, some of them evidently are, while others, it’s just hard to tell if it’s a political issue. Fear and desperation makes for good political issues and keep eyeballs glued to the tv.0 -
I have worried about all those things (regarding China, more worried about how any of the super powers negatively affect the world: US, Russia, China). And all of those things seem to be getting worse. I think the only way to maintain one's sanity through all of this is to seek and give gratitude for what is good in life, do the best you can to live more lightly on the planet, and not give up hope - with the attitude that hope is doing what makes sense no matter how things turn out. Worry never solves anything. How do I know this? I am, at times, a champion worrier. Let's you and me work on doing less worrying and more living.Thoughts_Arrive said:I'm just worried with overpopulation, global warming, pollution, homelessness, increasing drug related violence, wars, China flexing its muscle and about to invade Hong Kong and Taiwan and possibly Australia, terrorism, my mental health, etc etc etc

In a nutshell, I'm typically not a hand-wringer. Shit has happened, does happen, will happen. Some really awful shit.
We have power to effect some changes but nature and its quirks will always win out.
This isn't my being cavalier about the ills all around, but it's my take right now.
And I really miss soft-shell crabs.0 -
I don't see how anyone can look at the world today and not see a great deal of shittiness about it. But I also think a couple of companion questions might be:"What goodness and beauty do you see in the world?"and,"What are you doing to make the world better and less shitty?""It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I think calling them 'newsroom worries' makes them seem they aren't happening. A lot of them can't be seen in our day to day life so they are easily dismissed. But they are all issues that if not corrected will affect the human race in the future. Overpopulation is a major concern as it affects so many areas- resources, loss of wildlife due to expansion, etc. Global warming was generally accepted by both sides until it was politicised by the Tea Party because lobbies stepped in. Wars could virtually end human life on this planet if a series of numerous factors all fell into place.lbpeltz said:Thoughts_Arrive said:I'm just worried with overpopulation, global warming, pollution, homelessness, increasing drug related violence, wars, China flexing its muscle and about to invade Hong Kong and Taiwan and possibly Australia, terrorism, my mental health, etc etc etc

I do have faith in the younger generations, even as maligned as they are. They tend to be a lot more color-blind and I see younger people becoming engaged in political/environmental issues that I never thought about at that age. More Americans need to vote and elect people who abide by ridding the world of the errors we are making in destroying it. Hopefully that will happen.0 -
The world is not going to get better...too much greed and not near enough compassion in this world.
I just recently read that the original Woodstock that was used, the owner was a standup republican who believed in freedom of expression. Could you see any Republican offer up the same...not on your life..."no way any dirty hippies are going to play loud rock music on my land".
That's how fucked up the world is ... and these politicians are dividing us and we are all the losers because of it.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
Within this little bubble, go to the good news thread. Look for it around you. Observe how kindly people react when faced with the unthinkable. How some people are just kind.
The goodness and beauty I see? Begins right here, at home. It's all around. Missing that is as harmful, to me, as declaring the world is shitty. Parts are, sure. People, moreso. But overall? It's not, to me.
As for my part, I'm not going to rehash my little contributions. I'm good with them.0 -
