Suicide

[robvalue]

I'm having trouble with being an evil species, it's something I can't come to terms with.

I know how you feel. But I agree with Redbeard, things are improving. All we can do in our short time here is try to make a positive impact. One small thing can have a ripple effect, and many good deeds over time can be transformative.

I think the planet's remaining life would be better off without us, but I've just had to accept that we're here. I may as well do my best to try and steer humanity in the right direction, in whatever capacity I can.

We're just sophisticated apes, when it comes down to it. The expectations for ourselves shouldn't be too high.

Please tell us more if you would like, so we can help you think through it. In my most depressed moments, it's the overwhelming cruelty our species is capable of that stings the most. But when I'm more balanced, I can acknowledge that such horror goes on, but accept there's only so much I can do. If I let that drag me down, I won't be able to make any positive impact when I have the opportunity.
