I hate this scare mongering that we seem to have a influx of at the moment. I don’t get the way people seem to almost gloat about this “information” they have, which isn’t informative but utterly terrifying for so many. Especially when people’s mental health is generally more vulnerable than ever. In the same sentence though I genuinely believe that these people are actually far more weak than the ones being terrified by the information, they can’t accept that humanity is exceptionally fragile, we have become arrogant as a species to believe that everything is so controlled and nothing can possibly happen to us good or bad unless it’s been created by some other being. My late dad used to rationalise it to me, give me a perspective on how we’re basically minuscule bits of life hurtling through space around a impossible to begin to imagine, burning up star.
Civilisation will come to an end, of course it will, everything has an end, no one gets out of here alive. I won’t be scrapping or prepping because if we get to that point in my lifetime I’ll take my own way out, with my family, and I accept that. In the meantime my life is much more likely to come to an end in the car I drive every day, or that I keep feeding my body with fattening stuff and have no idea if my artery will become blocked. Living is a risk, life is fragile, enjoy everyday because there’s very little you can do or control about how long you’re here for and to keep attempting to leads to misery, I’ve learnt this from my own experience.
just a note to the original poster none of this was aimed at you, I read it myself and found it interesting, it’s just the derailment.
