Do you have hope for this world? (Long rant question)?

[lozlover98]

It's kind of depressing how conceited and corrupt this world is. Everyday I see thousands of comments arguing about how their political party, ideals, thoughts, actions, perspective and reasoning is correct and shall always be correct. Everyday I see the debates about homosexuality and how it should be legalised/made illegal (I support gay rights). Everyday I see women who claim that men are misogynistic yet they are being hypocritical because they are being the female equivalent of a misogynist, a misandrist. The extremists argue how men commit atrocious acts while women can do no wrong. In reality, women commit crimes that are just as atrocious as the ones men commit. Everyday I see racist remarks sent backwards and forwards that are piled with stereotypical remarks. It annoys me greatly as I was once a victim of racial slander.

Now we have politicians who fight over what they claim is for the good of their country when it is more for their benefit or their corrupt and twisted views. Even religion isn't safe from dispute. The arguments between religions and also religion v science. We have religions that claim they are the 'correct' religion, although many of these religions have led to horrendous events in the past (e.g. the Crusades, the war against Al-Qaeda insurgents, the Holocaust and many others). These religions even slander others because they feel that the other religions are wrong. When was giving your own opinion a bad thing?

Then we have financial problems, healthcare problems, human rights problems, political problems, military problems, nationwide problems, local problems, international problems, jeez, we've basically got every single problem in mankind.

Our technological era is a problem as well! The communication between others is swift and easily accessible and it's a plus, but we are also exposed to the disturbing views of others. The invention of social media gives us an easier view of how simple-minded, pretentious and ignorant people are.

Our views of world peace are also impossible. We can't have peace until one single ideal is met by every single being on this earth, which is never going to happen. Different ideals collide and create scenarios that lead to an even bigger scenario until all that built up tension releases to create wars, conflicts, disputes and other clashes. Love also creates hate which also contributes to the dispute of ideals.

I know it seems that we have evolved over the past few centuries, and we have, but I also believe we have become more brutal and sinister towards others. I can't see much hope when the generations that are yet to come are constantly exposed to these brutalities. No one is perfect, everyone is flawed. It's about time everyone accepts that we are only human and being rich, poor, fat, skinny, good-looking, ugly, tall, short, smart or dumb doesn't do squat to making us realise this. After everything I've said, do you still have hope for this world?
