First of all, I apologize if whatever I say comes across as inconsiderate, selfish, or mean.
Just something that I've felt for the past few weeks. I'd love to see the world made better, but every day I hear more and more stories about how our own race runs itself into the ground. I don't want to be a part of it, but every day I keep finding myself thinking that it's inevitable and human nature, and that I should join in, if everyone else is going to do it and the world will collapse because of it anyway. Part of me considers harming myself every once in a while to punish myself for being a part of it.
In addition, I keep finding pointlessness in my actions, and finding myself reflecting that my existence really has no meaning. If that is so, than wouldn't that mean that I should stop caring about others and go down the most selfish of paths, because any acts of kindness I give is pointless? Not that I want to be selfish, just these thoughts I keep having.
In addition, I feel I should punish myself for worrying about this when people have it much worse.
It's not that I don't care about others, nor that I want to stop caring, it's that it's sort of killing me at the moment. I'm completely confused as to what perspective to look at things.
