The Not Happy Thread

I am sick of seeing and hearing about yet another fucking road accident in Ireland. Second one today in 5 weeks in Newtownforbes alone.

 

I am pretty sure that I am not happy that a friend of a friend of mines daughter was stabbed and killed for no reason on the BART in California, and her other daughter was injured. Like, for no reason. I have seen a lot of evil in my time, I just cannot comprehend why it exists, and for what purpose.

 

Because there is good, there has to be evil. Senseless and pointless evil is useless and chaotic.
I am sorry to hear about your friends daughters, and I hope the party responsible gets caught
and goes to prison to be some dudes soap on a rope.

 

He's in custody.

 

And I pray if convicted he remains as such.

 

How does that make sense?

 

A thing called balance, can't have one without the other. IDK, it just does. Nobody is perfect,
and society no matter where you go has 100% perfect and good populace, so...

 

I don’t believe in “evil” as a concept. It’s a hangover from religion. Some people are sociopaths - their brains malfunction in a way that causes them to either feel nothing or gain pleasure or perceive advantage in harming others. It’s not that hard to understand if you see it as a neurologically mediated lack of rationality, or morality, or empathy.

 

just saw this. People who are damaged and a danger to others should not walk this earth freely. That said, we have failed in our oft brutal, pathetic attempt to compress millions of years of mammalian nature out of ourselves in a few and feeble millenia. Statistically, we should fail, and go extinct. But that damn stubborn streak in us... Genetic profiling has already existed for some million years. It's called a dog. It already knows how to sniff out more than drugs. Dogs tell us about other humans constantly, from medical to mental status. How the hell did we advance to the point where we have become so stupid, in our brilliance? Nature is the answer to so many riddles, if we pull our heads out of our ass!
Get a bunch of weenie-dogs, poodles, whatever. Let 'em run around stations, stores, schools, whatnot. The asshole in Vegas would never have made it in the hotel, much less fifty feet out his front door, if there was a bunch of little four-legged profilers, doin' what they do.
I get depressed every time someone I know suffers for our collective stupidity. Maybe we should go extinct. Dogs would inherit the earth.

 

@Some Guy
I agree, plus add a few million years of reptilian layers too (which are the worst bits). The main problem with humans is our high degree of self-awareness, in the sense of consciousness. Without that we wouldn't have such a tenacious survival instinct and would probably be extinct by now.

 

I heard the reason we still exist is mostly because our ancestors weren't as tasty as other stuff!

Nah, we just dropped some meat in a fire once and cooked it, then kept doing that, and that made us strong enough and fast enough to survive, then our brains got big enough that it didn't matter that we weren't the strongest or fastest any more. Now we're too strong and too fast and too clever that nothing else will ever compete and the planet is basically stuck with us.

 

Reminds me of this creepypasta...

 

Why does it not surprise me that you posted this?

Don't look at the fur and eyes
Don't touch the wagging tails
Don't listen to the panting tongues

 

Ah, you're getting to know me then. You have crossed the line. There is no way back.




*flickering lights and ominous music*

 

Can I look at the eye?

 

I'd advise against it

 

Damn. Really good, but daaayamn!

I like pesto with my creepy pasta!

The Eye is mine eye. I see you, I see all...

 

Why not? What happens when I do?

 

It bites.

 

Aww man, you were supposed to just say “don’t”

 

!!

 

Holy shit that was cool! I gave up on creepypasta a few years ago, too much chaff, but that was verra verra nice, thanks for sharing!

 

You guys hijacking threads with references to my writing makes me strangely uncomfortable.

Yeah, under the tons of crappypastas there are a few hidden gems. I remember when I first read this one, didn't leave the back of my head for days.

 

Feeling petty about things happening in my family that I don't even want to describe in detail because I don't want to broadcast just how fucking petty I really am.

Suffice to say, I feel like I never get enough attention, and I just want to be the "special" one for once, and I don't think I ever will be.

I'm not sure what bothers me more: the lack of attention, or the fact that it bothers me so much. I wish I could be a bigger person than that.
