Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirty" data-source="post: 340148" data-attributes="member: 6535">If the world as it is was a more appealing place, and the future and direction of humanity looked brighter (even without this war), I’d be more inclined to go out of my way to hang around awhile. Don’t misunderstand me…I squeeze plenty of enjoyment out of every day with my family, my friends, my hobbies, etc. but the future looks grim in my opinion. I can only be so optimistic when constantly reminded of all the greed and selfishness and hatred in the air. I’m reminded of it every day at work, every time I catch the current events, even every time I check out Nodak angler. The world is absolutely saturated in hate and evil. As long as I am able, I will spend my life trying to provide my family with the best possible future but I’m not going to spend my energy running from problems either. The only hope for future generations in my opinion is to actually have to go through some hard times and become survivors. When everything is rosy and sweet all the time, every generation gets flakier and flakier, weaker and weaker, and you start seeing the opposite of natural selection and survival of the fittest, and the celebration and perpetuation of the absolutely most bizarre shit. Again, don’t get me wrong - I want my kids to have things as good as possible but in reality I also know that having it made in the shade is NOT what will make them strong, successful, and more importantly good parents if they are ever around long enough to have their own children. With the world in the current state of affairs, I want to throw up when I think of how things will be when my kids are just 10 years older than they are now, or even two years. At a break neck pace the past few generations including my own have done what we can to screw it up for them. I’m not excluding my own recklessness and selfishness from the mix either. I’m as guilty as anyone. To be quite honest, if I actually thought there was immediate peril upon us, I would gather my family together and spend our final amount of time doing whatever they wanted to do, and probably find some sort of therapeutic relief in the process.</blockquote>
