My rant is that I love in an existential crisis.
I know the world sucks. I know why the world sucks and I think I have solutions to some of those issues. However how can I act upon them.
I'm forever flip flopping on leaving everything behind and living as a nomad in a cave or trying to get into office to right the wrongs of this world.
I'd love to leave a legacy of actually doing something worthwhile with my life as most lives are pointless.
We are nothing. We live we die and Majority of us will destroy more than we will ever create.
Nothing I do or most do matters. I could due tomorrow and my existence would be a footnote in an obituary. With that most things people do don't impact on the greater humanity.
Yet we have capacity to truly be remarkable. But to do that we need to take risks. Risks that would ultimately force us into something we do t actually want to do. Risks that would be life altering and destroy the current east life we live.

Simple question regarding bringing a child into this life. Knowing they will have a worse life than us and forcing them to exist what be a form of torture.
Hopefully decisions will be made by fate and I won't need to torture myself until something snubs me out. Could I make a difference it will I be forgettable like everyone else
