People Don't Give A Shit... (No Surprise)



Why would anyone think that others care if they live to see another day? I don't know. Why would anyone feel the empathy of another person's suffering? A willingness to share strength that you have with one who may not, for many different reasons, have as much as you do. Or is it that people with a lack of strength to over come what feels like a hopeless situation, or emotions of hopelessness, are merely weak individuals who have nothing to offer society any longer, so their lives aren't of any further value? Maybe so. If you hold that belief, are you willing to be present, personally, to watch them die? Are you willing to help them end their suffering for the "betterment of humanity?" Yes, I am talking about societal cleansing, the purging of the less deserving, the less fortunate, the needy. The list somehow seems to be growing now. If someone who is mentally ill deserves to be "put to sleep," for the betterment of humanity, soon the list will include the elderly, the physically handicapped, including those with physical weaknesses, like heart problems, cancer, and so on. Now it somehow doesn't seem to be such a great idea after all, or maybe it is, if you are suicidal, but somehow I believe that those who lack empathy are beginning to see the flaws in this plan. So will anyone care more, want to change things for those I speak of, chose to care more, put forth more of an effort? I doubt it. *Sigh*

Just my thoughts.

Just........ Me
