despite any bad shit happening, i refuse to succumb to thinking we're doomed. there's always been bad stuff happening in this world, and good stuff. there will continue to be. i make myself stay alive, i fight to keep myself alive, and i keep trying to contribute to the good things. whether that's small or big, just being kind to those around me or if i have the ability to do more. the world will not just 'end' and release people from suffering, it's pointless to want intense destruction, someone will survive that destruction and have to deal with the pain it causes, and death doesn't guarantee you'll be free from the pain (and even if it did - why push for destruction that everyone still alive would have to keep suffering in? why not just want LESS suffering in the world?). it's never the 'end', it's never 'over'. Every day you're alive, it's getting up in a world that's got good and bad, and existing despite the bad, your existence adding to some relief in kindness and safety and care for yourself and others.

#rant #feel free to ignore me #basically theres like 3 kinds of doomerism #(in the us anyway)#theres conservative christian doomerism that prays the world ENDS so they all die and go to heaven and decides its okay if the world gets #worse and worse cause they HOPE we all die. when really like... if u want everyone to die i think fuck you #i think you can control if you yourself dies but don't make it so other people are suffering more. which is what they do... increase #suffering for other people.#there's liberals who say the worlds cooked/over/fucked/that its too late and they 'cant do anything'#and they kind of hope the world is 'ended' so that they can give up trying to fix it. if its already 'over' then theres nothing they can do #and they can stop doing anything. they'd rather just suffer and see others suffer. than try to increase good in the world.#its annoying as fuck and that attitude helps the people who DO want the world to suffer more.#and then there's the people just suffering and panicking so much... that in hoping the world is 'almost over' is really #more them wishing their suffering ends soon even if it means they die.#and i get it. ive been dying before. ive wished it was just over before. i know not everyone wants to stubbornly survive despite it #and the issue with this thinking is 1. you might survive. and if you DO survive then the efforts you put into trying might help you suffer #less down the line (just in case you do survive). 2. others will survive. others you love will survive #and the efforts you put in will maybe help them suffer less. even if you are gone eventually.#and efforts CAN be as small as simply 1. trying to survive until the bad times end!!! 2. telling people doing bad stuff that they ARE doing #bad stuff! telling others that you KNOW things can be BETTER.#being part of that BETTER by smiling at loved ones. laughing with loved ones. talking with loved ones. hugging loved ones.#and doing the same with strangers when there is an opportunity.#yes theres certainly Bigger stuff one can do. but sincerely just NOT being a doomer-hoping-the-world-'ends' (and it wont ever actually end)#and NOT actively working to make things worse... is already helping a ton #just actively NOT contributing to more peoples suffering is a huge thing already so thank you for doing it.#doomerism is vicious because it convinces you to accept your own suffering without resisting the cause of it #. and convinces you to hope all other people suffer intensely.
