The mere existence of Donald Trump and the fact that people are supporting him and he may become the president of USA shows humanity has no fucking hope.
In 2016, in 2016, there are still racists, white supremacists, homo/poly/transphobes, fatphobes, bullies, rapists, abusers, serial killers, cannibals, misogynists, sexists, extreme right wing people, people who torture animals, pedophiles, ableists, mentalists...
Humanity has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and we still discriminate against each other (not to mention that there is still war, hunger, poverty).
I generally exist in a very protected environment since my friends and most of my acquaintances are decent people and none of the above.
But in the past couple of years I have been exposed to the true nature of humanity widely and forcefully, through the internet.
And the more active I am online, the more desperate I become.
The more I lose any last fragment of hope I may have had.
Because for humanity to be the way it is, to have been and still be the way it is, it means any sort of evolution doesn't change the core of the human psych and behaviour. Hate and discrimination.
No matter how evolved we are as a species, no matter how fast technical advances and science unravel the mysteries of the universe, we won't change.
Evil is ingrained in our souls. That is very apparent to me. Not sure if it's somehow passed in our dna. But it is there.
And all this leaves me questioning, is goodness a minority?
Are we, the ones who demand peace and equality a painful minority?
Because if we are, where does that live us in the sense of demanding those things?
