I am losing faith in humankind! I feel my ship is sinking! Can you dig up and share any goodness with me?

Why do I have to worry about the whole world? My level of global empathy is driving me bats... Oh! I think I need my blanket and a hug!
Just typing this out has made feel a little better. Your comments I am sure would be deeply remedial. But be nice please... I'm really hurting here! : [

This might sound bad, but try to be a little more selfish. It does wonders. And stop watching the news on TV.
*huggs and kisses*
kinda sucks huh?? your not alone...man kind is kinda a big let down..
Reach out and touch my hand ... Feel the sky. The sun is shining, the birds are seeing and nature is harmony with itself.
Can we go on a picnic .. .you and I? Or out on the boat and discover a new island? Gawd I can't wait!
the most vocal and visible (like me typing on answers) are the most obnoxious of us humans... all the nice ones are usually quiet... you just don't see many of them cuz they're so quiet. look around... there are more good ones than bad.
It's true, there are some pretty vulgar creatures out there, but each one of them has a good heart deep inside, and it may be hard to pull out, but it's not impossible. Here's a hug{{{{{}}}}}. Hope you feel better. Take some psych courses and sociology. Of course, don't trust everyone, but smile at everyone, you'll be surprised how many smile back.
nothing better then smile of a small 'infant'.
I lost faith in the human race years ago..so grab yourself an oar and help me row away.
Tomorrow got to a park where children are playing and watch them for a while. Your faith will return. At very least, hope will. From a distant void, I love you.
go for a nice walk and think of the positives.
always gets me through the hard times.
chocolate helps too:]
try the serenity prayer--it isnt just for AA members--it applies to all who need a bit of balance in their hearts and mind-
Damn girl! Go start a tub full of nice hot water and light some candles! go get a glass of wine.....or a cup of tea and soak in the tub .....listen to some music that makes you feel good! There is alot of crap in the world...........but I believe the majority of mankind is good! Look at good things that are around you! Turn off the tv...the computer...and close the newspaper.......dont read the news for a few days.......enjoy life.......enjoy the summer day! find something you enjoy doing and do it! The good will prevail.........there may just be some sh** to handle first.........but don't worry........this too shall pass! Keep telling yourself that! Get a good nights sleep and you will feel better! I promise! Good luck! Im sending you a hug!:)
Well, if you haven't already, you can volunteer. There are are a lot of people who say it makes them feel better, and plus you get to meet great people. That might restore your faith some;otherwise, I say try not too worry too much.
Get on a new ship, stop worrying about the world you can't change it.!
I understand what you're saying. I can't remember the last time I felt really hopeful about the direction in which humanity is headed. Things can only get worse for the rest of this century. And, it can make one feel powerless as an individual to substantially change the forecast.
All you can do is your part to change the world for the better. Even small things make a difference. Focus on what you can do to make things better. Focus also on your immediate environment. In other words, sometimes just to maintain one's mental health, it's good to put the big picture on a shelf in the closet and shut the door. Look at the small picture around you, the things you like to do, and the people you love.
what makes u feel like that...any prob,....write ur problems or wht u thinks on a paper it is a good way to reduce stress i always do that ....i always do meditation...and sit quitely in ur room and do nothing.........and think positive........
a big hug for u....
u can always mail or chat with me asdlk_1234@yahoo.co.in...
Well, I also feel bad....... :(
Don't worry, you'll overcome it. It happens to me often too. Just make sure YOU are good, and if you gain mor mental power, do more good.
On the global scale, it's easy to believe that there isn't any good anymore. Nations act as individual entities in their attempts to promote/protect their people and those groups interested in changing the status quo often have to act on a national scale to make things different (for better or worse).
However, look around locally and at the people you know. For the most part, people are kind-hearted and nice. There's always the exception to the rule with some person who is mean spirited or generally an A-hole, but even they could have moments of tenderness or kindness given the right circumstances. I believe a lot of tension exists because outside of our friends, we don't often take the time to get to know people outside of our regular routine and that goes to the national and global scale as well.
Will everyone ever get along? Who knows. Probably not in our lifetimes. But I like to think that it is a possibility.
have you been watching to much alex jones like i have? or have you seen loose change 911:second edition?? i find that nothing but helping people become aware of the world around is about the only thing that makes me feel better. one person at time.... but when i see the look in their eye that maybe they are wakeing up to the world around....that helps me know that i am doing the right thing and that my worries are a real threat not something i'm just paranoid about.

HHmmmm well just remember its the little things that count. Like saying Thank You to a guy who holds your door open. Picking up someones $5 dollar bill and telling them "You dropped this". Recently I made a trip (33hrs both ways) just to comfort a friend who had lost a loved one. Knowing that Karma is passed on... gets me thru sometimes. Maybe become a "Big Brother/Sister" and put the faith into someone else. Hope u start to smile... but remember the rainbow can only be seen after its "rained" (crying). Nite
every single human passes thro this rough period loosing hope, its just a matter of time and patience. time and tide will change... mingle with som nice ppl around you who are not as in the state of mind as yours but some cheerfull ppl. also as the first answerer said try to be a bit selfish as well to avoid certain things.....
Big hugs and cheers.... WATCH SOME NICE COMEDY MOVIE or just hear to some Soothing music..... go to some nice Scenic place...
how I know what you are saying.!
I used to be so political!
worrying about the state of things!
All of the sudden, it came over me,
like a head rush!
What you need to do........
worry about what goes on in your own little world!
the concept about worrying about the world as a whole,
let it go.!!!
Do you havae bills to pay,
rent or mortgage?
car payment , food , utilities etc...
none of us can change the world geopolitic!
but what we can do is be aware.
and live a good life and handle
whatever is thrown at us!
good luck!
ITs ok to loose Faith in humankind! Put your faith in GOD! He loves you. Close your eyes and be still. And just know he is God. And you will get your hug! and more love then ever.
Every one gose thro a ruff time every now and then!! Its always going to be better soon.
LET ME TELL YOU... my situation... If it can help one person fell better to laugh at my real life prob it will make it better atleast!!,,, Well, my aunt (who I grew up very very close too, more like my sister) has been sleeping with my X for a year and a half and they kep it from me till about amonth ago. My 5 yr old son came home saying he had a new mommy! and told me who! AUNT BRENDA!
I love her and all but I jsut have to giggle! I wanted better for her. But he deserves what she is going to give him! LOL.NE way. I hope my drama will make you giggle also.
I just know how it is to want to go to bed and cry, or to pray for a rainy day so you can stay in. But I also NOW know how it is to walk out side wanting rain and THANKING GOD for MY blue sky!
Smile! Some one need you, even if you dont know it yet.
well i don't know how to make a virtual hug but i am sending you one (VIRTUAL HUG FROM ME)
let me tell you, i was thinking the same thing when i became handicap, i would go places and people would start talking about me and not to me. once i start talking to people then they will talk to me....( they don't want to ask me the wrong question is the most commen excuse of not talking to us... wheelchair users)
they would just look at me fight with the door while i try to get throught it, then someone would ask me can i hold the door for you. that makes it so much easier to enter a room.
i was at a bus stop waiting for the city bus in my wheelchair, a lady told another lady, the bus driver is going to load the wheelchair first and the other lady said don't they have special transportation for THEM and the other lady said there is other forms of transportation, but some people in wheelchairs want to be more independant and ride the city bus by themselves. that lady spoke up for us..... the handicap in wheelchairs
then one day while i was on my mobility scooter, i was going down the sidewalk and went to cross, the road was uneven and when i tried to cross, the uneven road flipped my mobility scooter, and i fell over, (i am an amputee, above the knee) i sat myself up and before i knew it, i had a police officer and about 3 or 4 people from different businesses in that area come to my rescue, helped me back on my mobility scooter.
so there are good people out there, they are less of them, then there are of the jerks who cause trouble, so try to find the good in people and say to hell with the rest if they are going to be total jerks.
hope i helped your spirits, those folks have helped my spirits a lot.
I was just thinking about making a webpage called peoplearegood.com where I was going to make a proof of human goodness. But to be honest I don't have time and don't really need to prove to myself what I already believe is true. You should do this instead of me. Start with records of philanthropic donations. For example, Bill Gates gave over half his income to charity last year and the year before. Do a web search for the worlds most generous or giving people. Read about Oprah Winfrey. Then look at people who do charity work all around the world, not just religious but people who are just doing things for the greater good in general. Look at the amount of money people give to basic charity. I am especially impressed with the lower middle class who have less to give but are still generous with what they have. Look at doctors, nurses and psychologist who donate work hours. So look for evidence and prove it to yourself. Don't be like the good scientist who searches without bias but start with a positive bias and look to prove that people are good. When you are looking for evidence for something you tend to find it.
When it gets very bad and you just don't feel it remember that the world is not just about people. This world is full of beauty, human expression is just one form. Sometimes I prefer to look at nature and the animals more than people because unlike people, they don't seem to be capable of chooseing an "ugly" expression. So when I am not strong enough to deal with any of the ugliness I could find in people I go to nature where I won't have to look at it anymore. Then I come back to society once I am strong enough to deal with the occasional lost, angry person and I can enjoy people again. Feel the most empathy for the people that are shallow and ugly inside, they feel even less love than you do right now. I recommend a film to you called Baroka. It has no words, just a collection of beautiful images and music of man interacting with his environment. Its like a visual meditation.
believe in urself and ur own goodness seriously i agree the world suxs, i went to a class where i met a pakistinian girl and an isreali boy who were brought to speak with us and even though they were on different sides of the lines they would still sit wit each other and tell their stories respectfully i think that bring lite to the world
Yeah perhaps take a diet from news and the radio. I remember when we had the Kartrina tradgedy and no one was helping those poor people. I felt some helpless everyday when I went to work I just wanted to cry. I was falling apart. I just had to go on a diet of no media. I just listened to music only. If that is the problem perhaps you need to do that.
I went through a bad depression because I was so sick earlier this year. I lost hope. I just craved teddy bears, pajamas and fuzzy blankets. I just got some and it got better. I felt better. I wrote some organizations and told them my story and they sent me some angels and afgans and it really gave me hope that total strangers would give me things that would offer me hope. I just had to go on.
I wish you all the best and hope you get feeling better. Please get help if you need it counselling or the doctor whatever you need. Please get close to your friends and family. Only you know what is going on right now in your head. Ask for what you need and get it. I truly hope you feel better soon. Emotional pain can be some of the worst pain.
I hope everyone who responds treats you with kindness or deletes their inappropriate post and thinks again.
it's not the vast majority that need help it's the over publicized few that make it ssem that way, I still try to help people around me, I help people in stores if they need help hey a few months ago we (my husband and myself) tried to save a little boy who had no breath and no heart beat when no one else would. (he didn;t make it but we tried) We cut our neighbors bushes when they are over grown, All you can do is help or send a smile to someone and you make the world a little better. XOXO sometimes a funny link is all i need try funnyjunk.com some stuff is wrong but some is cute hope your smiling
Please see the webpages for more details on Depression. You do not have a sound mind in a sound body. If you engage yourself in a socially useful productive work, such feelings will not arise. Please note that every person has got some hidden sorrow or depression. If you tell the same to other trustworthy persons, your tension will be relieved to a certain extrent.
