  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Yet we have to be tolerant, have faith be grateful, be honest, survive, heal, have hope in the darkest places, be cautious, wary, calculating, patient, forgiving, empathetic
What a conflicted insanity!

Society in general is becoming more selfish and this results in the dangers you cite. American society used to have a higher percentage of people who actually tried to live their Christian faith (love, which is selflessness). Today even most churches reflect a populace less concerned with others. However, this could be said for Islam and Buddhism as well.

It used to be that one's family was protection from a potentially dangerous world. However, as families have shrunk and been fractured, there is less protection there. Without family or faith, one generally has to be guarded and conduct themselves defensively in the wider world and only open up with those with whom trust has already been established.

I have had this same thought once. It's confusing... We don't live whit survival of the fittest only, there's social mechanisms involved... It's still confusing though, and distressing. I try to accept death now.
Part of my coping mechanisms to control GAD, that i think i have already surpassed...

Maybe you are catastrophizing a bit. It is not that bad in modern society. It is not great either if you cannot be useful, so I guess It is up to a view point.
