I am not happy with the current state of things

Every day, I look at the news and get disappointed. Every day, I learn about a new way someone can be an asshole. Every day, I see more people losing their filter. Every day, I watch people in power make decisions that are seemingly to villanize a small group of people.

When I was younger, I always thought that “things will be better when I grow up”. There are always gonna be problems in the world, but I thought that we as a society are working together, beyond borders, to make things better for all of us.

There are too many “us”s, and no one agrees on what “better” means. Everyone’s “problems” are different.

But still, every day I learn that certain people cannot be happy seeing other people happy.

There’s a lot of hate.

Maybe there always was hate, and it’s just being put on display with technology.
