How old were you

I realized how fucked the world is when I saw one bum shoot another bum in the head at a diary queen.

i saw something similair when i was like 8...a mexican shot a chinese dude in the head over a pack of cigarettes right outside of 7-11...

And than put them threw the brainwashing school systems where they break you like I was broken. And than to enter the endless struggle of the rat race, Forsed to learn the ways of the world or parish tryin. You are just one out of a billion apon billion other people that wonder this earth. Everyone seems depressed, No one seems happy everyone is out for themselfs. The World does not care if you "succeed" in this life or not.

I guess I started realizing the truth after Mary Jane opened my eyes.

Why are we HERE???

All and all, your just another brick in the wall..

p was 14 when i realized this, and i was 16 when i got over the whole teen angst thing, not sure how old you are, but if ure a teenager youll get over it...... if your older then i dont know what to tell ya.......

If you're a teen, it'll pass. You'll have some kind of epiphany, then your world view will change a little, but it'll be forced to change once you turn 18 and get thrown into the real world, if it hasn't already gotten better by then. Seriously, I'm 17, I'll be on my own in just a few months, and I still feel like a kid. Nothing's different, but the world is gonna be expecting me to be the man, and if I don't, or can't, or won't, or whatever, then I'll just end up failing at life. :(

So, in other words, either do some soul searching/psychadelic drugs, or wait for society to bitch slap you with a lethal dose of reality. Either way, I hope it doesn't hurt you too much, man. Growing up is painful, but it'll all be over with before you know it.

Thanks for the supportive replys everyone. I needed that. :)

I'm just going threw that time in my life of a little depression, Wanting more from life. I hope these thoughts pass, I was a really happy kid growing up and I'm not gonna let the world eat me, Because If I do, They'll win. They beat me. I wanna beat the world.

w0rd. Fuck the world, just toke up and be happy. :D

This is a prime concept in Buddhism. Now that you have come to realize this you must come to accept it and get over it. You can't change the fact that there is suffering in the world. Understand that everyone, and I mean everyone must face this basic concept. Just realize that shit happens and you can't escape that fact so don't worry about it. Concentrate on the good instead.

If something bad happens to you, learn from it then forget about it. If you can prevent it from happening again do so. But never dwell on things that happend in the past. Always look forward and look for the good in life.

Great reply, Fengzi! I couldn't agree more...I'm not a Buddhist, though. Just like the way you think...
