Reality
We would like to have and believe in, and practice love, hope, compassion, empathy, positivity...good times.
Reality: life is dominated by: hate, anger, bitterness and regret, jealousy and greed, loss and death, deceit and betrayal, bigotry and prejudice, violence and trauma, sadness and mistakes, poverty and psychosis.
Life is Hell on Earth.
Any wonder we love fantasies and escapism?!
But life is SHIT. Because of human nature. Which is nothing if not chaotic and destructive. Humanity cannot help it.
Making scant progress and yet humans are under the delusion that they are civilised!
HA! Humanity is but a sick joke on the Universe.
....have I depressed you lot enough yet?!
