Depressed thoughts

I don’t know where all this has come from, but don’t we live in the worst time in history to be human? And I’m not talking about the credit crunch and all that old bollocks, I just mean it’s an awful time for our species. I’m ashamed to be human at the moment. I wish I’d had corrupted DNA and come out as a shrimp or something. We’re just awful. We stride this planet like a bully in a playground, we destroy what we should appreciate, we’ve pushed an extraordinary number of plants and creatures to the point of extinction and beyond, and we do it all while moaning that none of us has what we need. What a bunch of arseholes.
Sometimes I want to just take myself off to an island and apologise to every grain of sand on the beach. Sometimes I want to go for a long walk and punch every human being I see in the face while shouting “How could you be so careless, you bastard?” But mostly I just sit in bed feeling worthless, or type out my feelings in a daily blog. I don’t try to change us, or strive for solutions to the crisis, I just sit, and I dwell, and I moan. Because that is what we humans do.. We do all the damage without a second thought for the future, then hide beneath the covers when the time comes to sort it all out. We’re all part of the cause, but it’s someone else’s problem.
Horrible, horrible, horrible..
