Dear _,

For every stupid joke that taunts the chaste, you kill my dreams of a better future.

-Remey

Got a bone to pick with the world. Again...

Today's society discounts several things I hold dear: chastity, humility, selflessness, charity and genuineness- to name a few.

They rarely (or never) mention any of these things as valuable, except for selflessness. Nevertheless, the many do not seem to live it to the fullest- when it comes down to it, it's every man for himself and "hate to be" all those who are just unfortunate. People have such lax views on anything chaste- few people mention it as being a strength of a person. I feel that people think or understand that the innocent heart is only for children. Then pride. Just pride, pride, pride- and it's not always whittled down into a wise sort of dignity that isn't celebrated inwardly. Charity- why is it usually used in reference to the downtrodden and not as in treating any of your neighbours, rich and poor? I feel that people are rarely genuine. You can't seem to trust people to just be Good- you always have to watch you back. What kind of living is this? You can't freely live a good life. It's no wonder that I walk out my door and feel morally fatigued after dealing with lost ideas everywhere I turn. I am just disgusted.

If I didn't value anything in living for a higher good or for the promise of an eternal, true Happiness, then I truly would not want to live at all.

But what am I saying? This is a neverending "problem". Man is the same, age after age. I really wonder what will happen at the "end" of the world. When will such things really end?

My thoughts (or thesis) on that question: perhaps the "end" of the world may be the end of your life. Once you die, you leave this world, you leave the temporal- you are no longer bound by time. Maybe you end up at the "end of the world". It's certainly the end of your "world".

Here I sigh, close my writings and face the world head-on again.
