No it has nothing to do with my specific situation it has everything to do with looking at human history and realizing we’ve been destructive barbarous cunts the whole time.
We literally just act like we’re not or ignore the obvious violence that has been constant on this planet.
And honestly it’s not even just humans. Other animals are also incredibly violent and cruel. They just generally don’t have the ability to know what their doing is cruel.
Like a monkey eating another animal alive because killing it takes more effort. Or a group of hyenas gnawing at the ass of an animal because it’s the easiest part to chew through which results in the animal staying alive until it’s about halfway eaten and dies of blood loss. Or the fact that a lot of animals can survive with mortal wounds for days just prolonging their suffering before their certain death.
I encourage you to look at experiments with kids involving altruism. The research suggests much of our fucked up nature is rather learned through the environment. The more we improve our environment, the more we’ll likely see that altruism shine through. Not to say psychopaths don’t exist, but they are extremely rare, and research demonstrates that they can live relatively well without acting on their impulses with proper treatment, too.

Life is fucked all the way through.
