I am angry at the world?!
Question: I have been finding out things about the world and it ticks me off so bad that I want to punch something. I have been finding out about a lot of the animal abuse happening all across the world and it really ticks me off that most people just don't care at all. I quit eating meat, buying stuff with animal products and everything else possible to do to not be a part of the meat industry and the animal testing industry and I feel a little bit better. But the other night I saw on tv a cow who was sick being hit with a bulldozer and it shocked me and made me furious at the person who did it, those who condone it, and those who don't care. I also found out about what happens to babies in China, the things happening to people in Congo and Darfur and that ticks me off too! I want to find these evil people and stop them! And I am having a hard time understanding why most people don't even think about what is happening to others (especially the innocent animals and children) in this world.

Albert Einstein said it best, "The world is a dangerous place to live in. Not for the people who do wrong, but because of the people who sit and let it happen."
With this in mind, are you part of the solution or the problem? We both already know the an swear to this. So join PETA, get involved. Oh and don't let everything get to you. Change what you can don't worry about what you cant, that for the other person who CAN to worry about. Good luck m8.
well you are right, the world is a horrible place. however once you're in your mid 20's and then in the 30's you wont have time to worry about the "world" because you'll become like everyone else and you'll have to worry about immediate problems of yours. Paying bills, rent, mortgage, buying food, making food, doing laundry, paying taxes, going to work, not getting fired, keeping your gf/bf happy raising our kids.... etc
all of a sudden you have so many more problems of your own that the world will have to take care of itself. I know it sounds bad but the "world" will not come help you when you have problems....... welcome to the world of adulthood - the party will soon be over

Welcome to the real world, Hun.

It isn't helping yourself mentally to get so mad about it. All you can do is try to help make changes. And here is something that you can help change.

Well, you are a very good person. But you must face the reality and don't be too sensitive as you would be insane. Try to be realistic and do whatever you can in your power to be nice and helpful to have your share to make a better world. Don't be upset about something that you won't have any control on. This is good for keeping your mind balanced, otherwise, you will get crazy. Be on alert!
The world is a corrupt and evil place and I have often felt as you do and even attempted suicide. But someone gave me this advice and I will pass it on to you:
A man walked along a beach at low tide and picked up starfish that were on the sand and threw them back into the tide. Someone came along and said to him - there are thousands of star fish, you will never be able to make a difference.
The man just smiled and bent down and picked up another starfish from the sand and threw it into the tide and said, it made a difference to THAT starfish!!
The point is we can't change the world - it sucks! But we can make a difference in the life of maybe one animal or one person, one child, one cat etc... If each of us make a difference it will go a long way.
Start tomorrow - it may not be a starfish you save but it might be a stray cat or a lonely person. Make that difference in one life!
You got two choices of action when faced with negative information or events. You can get down about it or you can use it to motivate you into some positive action.
The third choice is apathy or no action at all, unfortunaly many make this choice.
Yes the world is mostly messed up in alot of places. I start where I have control, and work out from there. Find those that want to make a difference like you do and align yourself with them. It will feel very good to know that you can change the things that bother you. Just by posting here you raised awareness of some of the issues. What if you multiply that by putting your money, time and thoughts into solutions for the world instead of punching something? Pick the right targets to punch and YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
I get the same way. The amount of abuse that goes on - grown men beating babies and children and women to death.. rape and murder.. terrorism.. - everything. There are a lot of bad people in the world and it's very depressing.
I'm trying to hold onto the fact that there a many more good people in the world than bad, but.. it does seem as though the bad do manage to spread their tentacles far, wide and deep.
All any of us can do is work on our own "patch". The bigger and better we each make that patch - ie, the more good we manage to do, the better. And the bad guys have less of a chance of winning.
what you are doing is taking everything of the world upon yourself that your mind is just full of fear and despair. there is things that you can change and there is things that you cannot don't become so problem minded i see the same but decided it is time to take time out. think about it the world is cruel and harsh but there is a positive side also it is how you look at it start changing to positive there is also a lot of good things going on in the world also. i have a neighbour that is so evil whether it is an animal or human. she can only live if she See's other people suffering to understand them you would have to have the same kind of mind those people have and you have not.
Education is the key! You'll find that there are other people out there that feel the same way but don't realise what's going on in the world. Talk to someone about it and you'll see having someone there who agrees does help.
There are charities out there that help abused people and animals. Give what you can and it might make you feel just a bit better.
There are some people who don't care because it doesn't affect them personally. It's great that you have such a big heart for these issues.
It's a cruel cruel world but you can make a difference and not everyone is a heartless bastard.
i had a depression about all that sort of thing a couple of years ago, after i'd started on path as a healer.i had to admit eventually, that i cant wave a magic wand and make everything better, i can only do my little bit, and send out as much love to the situations as i can.
