Sorry, if anything I’ve come to hold these beliefs more strongly as I get older. I won’t look back at it and cringe, because it’s not cringeworthy. It’s an incredibly sad truth, that I wish were different. Humanity as a whole, sucks. Even the people here pretending they’re better than I am. They’re holding and using devices that rely on child slave labor to be produced, half the things they own are the result of others being taken advantage of. You just see more, and more, and more of it the more you’re alive.

If you actually sat down and think of it – and I have – your posh dipshit little life of “oh save the CHILDREN!!!” is covered in blood. All of it, from the house you live in, to the computer you’re using to chastise me. What are you gonna do about it? You’re gonna get on the internet and whine, and then in a few weeks, you’ll continue using all your shit, and you’ll be here…wasting your time, telling yourself how good a person you are because you “Care®”.

You don’t care any more than I don’t care. You just feed yourself platitudes so you can feel superior and enlightened and drown out any actual thought on the matter truthfully.

The difference is the thing that I can admit plainly – I don’t care. I am not judging you. I’m the same way. We’re ALL the same way. I’ve just lived enough life now that I don’t care to sugar coat it any longer.

It’s kind of like being religious and becoming atheist. The world is just a little darker when you don’t have that belief system to hang onto. Some people REALLY need it. They can’t live without it. You’re the same. It’s not religion though, it’s a different security blanket; the blanket of thinking you’re a good person because you have good thoughts and that those good thoughts make you better than someone who thinks differently.

I’m just an atheist to the everyday bullshit we tell ourselves to make us think we’re better somehow. We’re not.
