Does the future of humanity actually matter to you?

I really think that if I knew I was the last man alive on Earth that it would drive me into insanity. No one to tell anything to, no one to connect with, no one to help or cry or love.. nothing. The social aspect of existing is much stronger than I think we appreciate since most of us are usually around someone at least some of the time.. But what does that say about those of us that aren't, here, right now? Those of us, currently, with no one..? That might even be worse.. holy fuck. There are those around you that you could interact with, but none of them are willing.. none of them want to.. This thought hits close to home.. I used to work in a coffee shop and we'd have people come in every single day.. stay for hours. Usually old people. One time this woman came in and sat down next to me and started talking about her Christmas plans and it broke my heart.. She was going to spend the season alone, she didn't have anyone and she came in to socialize with us.. I'll never forget that.. Some of us experience what it's like with no one else on a daily basis and live our lives as if nothing bothers us..

Meh, people say so... I feel pretty happy go lucky though, so idk... but I do think about the bad shit... a lot of it has happened o me... like I said, I lost my parents, I've been abused, in foster care, homeless, had terrible pain from different things... and that's not counting the number of times I've been shot at (grew up in a war zone).

I think I'm realistic... I mean, these things do happen... bu I think it's the approach... some say you know, be super positive... I say, meh, this is reality, love it, hate it, whatever... I love alot of things, most of them are not people.. we kinda suck, as a species... in a lot of ways...

Could you imagine being the last man on Earth nurturing a sick and dying woman, knowing once she's gone, that's it.. that's the end of it all.. of everything you once knew..

How would you take it?

Le her go quick, and as painless as possible, feeling loved and cherished... and then... be happy for her, and mad at her, and sad for me and then fuck it...spend a while doing everything I never could cuz of other people til I died or killed myself of boredom (die I think, maybe "accidentally" doing bat shit crazy things... nothing left to lose type stuff, but never on purpose... I just... idk I can't do it man)

Its a natural instinctual to fear dying alone to force the human procreation

I'm of the mind that we're all connected and so it matters to me what happens when I'm gone. The problem with people today in our western culture is we are being programmed to look out solely for our own needs. Its an attempt to control the masses partially through fear of inequality and worker insecurity. The advertising industry feeds into this.
I did just see an excellent movie that would help explain better than I can called REQUIEM FOR AN AMERICAN DREAM. Noam Chomsky narrated it.

I'd try not to think about it and just grow and smoke until it's my time. It won't matter in the end anyway, what I once knew.

Been kind of feeling lately like the Earth is an entity and we are its malady. And just like a body that dies, we--the cancer, the parasite--will die with it as we smother it with our need and our greed.

We as a species need to control our baser instincts. Those instincts are embedded in government. Those who control government set the tenor of the times.

I refuse to be a product of cynicism.

I'm building the chance for a better tomorrow. One COB at a time.
