But i realized that many i just simply evil. Evil isn't necessarily wrong but i'd always choose good over right and wrong over evil. People often don't do things because it going to benefit them or help them. They do it without reason.
I've lost my faith in Democracy. The system that brings 'power' to the 'people'. A system where the people are always complain about the goverment they voted in. A system more corrupt then any other. A system where the fight is for power and not for whats best. I realized that i just didn't care if a dictator gained control. What would the difference be? People are stupid or brainwashed to know who there voting for anyway. What would the difference be between a dictator i didn't like and government i didn't like? My vote wasn't gonna matter anyway. Put simply the democracy was the system that allowed Hitler to gain power. The people wanted him in power. The people are stupid.
I've lost my faith in Christianity. A religion that seemed so blatantly obvious to control the population i just couldn't accept it was coincidence. A religion that never explained why i shouldn't something. I can't commit suicide? Why not? Because of a sudden drop in the population? And hell to me seems to be solely there for non-christians. I can get my sins forgiven not matter what they are. Seems to me its not wheter you follow the book of god its where you've heard of it.
I've lost my faith in life. Have you ever found it strange that we, the only beings capable of thinking about death, don't? Try to. You just can't. You have to be incredibly depressed to start with, to yeven be able to get through that barrier that stops you thinking about. If you break through that barrier and go far enough in you get hit. HIT. Hit by pointlessness. The energy is drained from you. It's a feeling indescribable. Words don't do the felling justice. They can't nothing can other than experiencing it.
I envy anyone with faith. I just hope you hold you hold on to it.

Don't ever lose faith in life. I am a Christian, but I don't expect you to be a Christian or to think as I do. It is your choice.
When you think about death, you begin to think about the meaningless of life and how it may all end. But even if you don't believe in a god, you never know what is around the corner after death. It could be good.
And don't worry about all the republicans and democrats arguing over this and that. Most of us don't hate each other. We see each other at work, in the grocery stores, and you NEVER see the kind of hatred that you might be thinking about. Oh sure, we get on the internet and argue until we're blue in the face...but, those same two people who yelled and screamed at their computer monitors at each other...might strike up a conversation at the store about their kids or such.
Look, go out and see for yourself. When you are out in public, you are not a democrat or a republican, and I bet you would see more acts of kindness than anything near hatred.
I was in a very depressed state years ago. I thought to myself "Why am I here? And what does it matter if I die? We are ALL going to die anyway?" I was so down...but I eventually quit thinking about death and started to think about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Hey! We ALL have our low days...mine was a few weeks! But don't EVER give up on life! You are worth more than that!
And our Democracy--Hey, that shouldn't have an impact on your "overall" life, right? And it may just get better! I think you would want to be around to see that! In the meantime, you might want to get off the political boards for awile and discover new passions...maybe it's a wake-up call to start that new business? Or become a Realtor....or what ever it is that you wanted to do, but thought you couldn't...DO IT!
Sorry this is soooo long, but it just kills me to know that someone is so down on life. In your lifetime, you will see many Republican and Democratic presidents get elected. In the overall scheme of things, it doesn't even matter who is elected. YOUR life is more important than who sits in the leather chair of the White House or what happens on the other side of the world.
