(29,950 posts)There are good humans, and you are one of them.
The sad part is, the older I get, the more I realize that there are so many more bad people than good people.
The worst part is, most people who are bad think they are good people. (And I include myself in that, for most of my life).
They go along, selfishly making choices that have horrible impact on the environment and their fellow creatures; (humans and other species).
When confronted by the evidence of their behavior they excuse, ignore, or get angry, showing their true colors.
As a species, I do sincerely believe we are headed for extinction, due to the catastrophic damage we are doing to our ecosystem.
Maybe a few of us will survive. Maybe they will learn from our mistakes. If not, we deserve to be extinct.
I would be totally at peace with this, except that we're taking so many other innocent species with us.
Anyway, for now, I have a 97 year old grandmother who needs my help, so I'm sticking around for her. After she goes.....
I'll re-evaluate my existence and see, but right now.....let's just say I don't see a lot of reason to stick around.
This story with its petty cruelty perpetrated by human greed, idiocy, and neglect just really brought the whole issue into focus for me.
Thanks again, and I wish every good back at you!
