It gets very discouraging when you try so hard to recycle and pick up after yourself and try in every possible way that you can to be 'green', when you turn around only to see almost every other person dumping their garbage in places that it really should not be put. And even though it upsets me a great deal, I suddenly get this feeling of 'nobody cares about this but me...'. I really honestly feel like I am the only one who gives a damn anymore. Even though I know that this is not true, because I know that there are many people out there doing more then I ever could. But the feeling sits there. And it plays with my head. It discourages me and gives me no hope for our future. Why should anyone care? As long as we cut down all the rain-forest's at least we (As humans) are better off...right? I really don't think so.
I hate how selfish we all are. And no matter how much you tell yourself that you are not selfish, you know you are. I know that I have been very selfish at many points of my life. But it still does not prove that we are all bad. I know that there are great qualities in every person, but sometimes it really doesn't seem that way.
You turn on the television and you see blood and hate and kidnapping and violence and just terrible terrible things, yet there is always that lighter side of the news that makes you feel so great about yourself. Yet you never hear much of it anymore.
Last week-end I went to Race track with friends to go see the grand prix of our town. And I had a blast, I truly did, besides the fact of all the rubber used for the tires and oil from the exhaust, it was a lot of fun camping and being with friends.
With that said however, at one point we were walking around the different parts of the track to get better views, and the paths for walking are not wide enough to fit four people, so if you can imagine, there was a lot of passing and stopping for other people. That was when it hit me:
Most of these people passing us were men, older, younger...men. And instead of letting me (being a lady) go by first so that I would not have to stand in the mud (It was raining)...they just breezed by and did not give a shit.
Wow. Call me crazy and old fashioned but 50 years ago, those men would have stopped for me so that I would not get dirty. I know that times have changed but jeez...Manors are still important. I give up my seat on bus' every day so that the elderly or younger kids can sit while I stand. I open doors for people with full hands and I definately let people go ahead of me inline if I have more then them.
Has this world gone mental? Have we all lost our faith and hope in everything? We have all become selfish and assholes. Most of us anyways.
I just don't get this world sometimes. I just don't get the people in inhabit it.
