Pessimist and their Optimist Views

Pessimist generally do have optimistic views you know. If not, how else are they so sure they are correct?

Hahahah! It's funny...I read what my friends said, I've heard what my church going buddies said, heck, I've even participated in some "peace" conference personally, and all I see, and all I find that is common in all of them is this: the world is sick, we need to save ourself, we will go to 'heaven' by devoting ourselves to 'this or that divine thingy'...blah blah blah...it goes on for quite an earful.

But here's what I say...humans are destructive by nature. Sure they are generally good by birth, all that innocence stuff, but by their very survivalist instinct, humans are undeniably destructive. Like Agent Smith of The Matrix said; "Humans are like a virus, they feed on the host until the host died, killing them in the process in their quest for survival...how ironic." Well... an apt analogy.

It is indeed an irony, we humans living in a fantasy world which we constructed ourselves. We believe we are above nature, that we control nature, and somehow if nature lashes back, it is the sins of all the non-religious heretics that's caused them; and that the world can only be saved by constantly praying for divine intervention, which is of course non-existent; living in our little rock floating helplessly in space, drifting through space and time never striving to break out and achieve greater things than staying here on this infested pebble...this problematic world which we call Earth, which we are destroying one molecule at a time with our very egoistic existence, never willing to accept the fact that our lives are more than profits or margins or economics or even love. Our lives are all about survival.

To survive, we need to spread out our 'eggs' so to speak. Not put them all in one fragile wicket basket. Spread among the stars...create live instead of preserving death. This is what we must do. This is what we're not doing right.
