What have we become? Not we as in this community of individuals trying to escape our daily existences on a realm of possiblities, but we as in humans. We as in our race.
Many of you know me as the cynical one, the person aloof and abrasively offensive at times to anyone who crosses an unseen line of my tolerance for ignorance. You do not see the motives behind this. The motives are clear though. I see no purpose in life and to be ignorant is to deny the hope of purpose.
So, I ask you, my fellow man. What have we become? We have cast aside our profound beliefs that there is a greater power than us. Of course many follow a belief system, but what is that? Religion is a hollow shell to its former self. It has been replaced by amorality and ignorance. "Who cares what tomorrow brings?" the multitudes cry. Who cares indeed so long as we are ignorant. Many will argue that science gives us light and guidance. Yes, science gives us facts, but who dictates how we use those facts? Science gives no morality. And what do we gain from knowing everything? Nothing. We, as a race, are headed down the path of an amoral and stagnated existence. This dear friends is our sickness. Our disease.
I mean something to guide us. To give us hope. We're merely children with lots of fun shiny toys to play with but no real direction on how.
something to guide us? ha, that's normally where a religious guy steps in and say "i will show you the way". however i agree with you that we aren't really going anywhere except trying to appease human instincts.
