Human Emotions

I’ve been reading and watching a lot of media where the end of the world is at hand, or the world and society is twisted in some way. And human emotion is the subject in focus. It brings this sense of “everyone is suffering together, so let’s stop the suffering somehow”.

But I don’t know if this emotional push is right. I don’t know if talking about suffering helps as much as giving hope for the future. and I don’t know if hope for the future needs to talk about suffering. I am slightly confused.

I say this because, it feels like after I watch these shows, my distrust for humans grow. It outweighs the hopefulness.

Instead, media with triumph, success, and a focus on the win: that gives me a lot more hope. I end the shows thinking, man, maybe I could work towards a success somehow. Then I ask myself what success is, but that’s another post for another day.

Human emotions are so strange, and that’s the most human part about it.

Strange huh.

I’m thinking what story I should tell of my youth, and maybe I should share about how I have successfully figured out that I have not figured things out. Would it be focusing on success? I hope I stress it enough.
