I recently read the most depressing article I have ever read in my life. I feel like throwing in the towel, settling, running away, and hiding all at once.
I feel like I make a pretty good effort to avoid thinking about how much I think the status of modern culture represents an idea that the world must be about to end. Of late I have felt like I just can’t ignore it. I wonder, intently, how I got to be in the place that I am, the age that I am and in the situation I am in.
Seriously, I realize that the economy is in the toilet, civilization is probably about to end, by the time I retire taxes will likely amount to about 60% of my income and I will be a bag lady, there are starving people all over the world, people fight in senseless wars and little kids can’t get medical care, and no one cares about it unless it gets them ahead financially. Really, the world is pretty much going to hell in a handbasket.
Then there’s me, who can’t sleep most nights, not because I read articles about actual relevant world issues, but because I read an article that told me there are just more women than men and it’s likely the ugly ones will end up alone. I don’t sleep most nights because I worry that most nights I will be all alone. I love people but feel like I might actually die from loneliness.
Maybe I’ll actually die from selfishness!
