What is better: not want anything or to be mercantile and want money or smth valuable? The latter people at least know what they want.

We can think that we are smart, more complicated and better than others. We can listen to others' stories about clothes, rich boys, appearance, fashion etc. and think that it is a cheap philosophy. We like to judge. But in the end are we better than others? Who defines what is cheap philosophy of life and what is not? Does life have philosophy at all? Does life have anything?

How to stay optimistic on this planet? With all it's defects? With violence, death, cruelty, indifference. Where the human life is treated like a peace of garbage or a way to express smb's views? Where all channels show the same news and you'll never hear or see the things people from somewhere above (or possibly below) don't want you to see. Whom am I asking these questions.. Probably myself. Will I ever get the answers? Do I want to?

I'm not that stupid to think that all people without exceptions are horrible creatures. I know some good people. My friends are very good people.. with faults of course, but no one is perfect. But if I don't meet enough good people to really believe in smth good? There are many not good and horrible human beings on this planet. Not all 7 billion of course, but there are still too many of them. And it is understandable. The world is not perfect, there are many unideal families, people who lack family at all, people who lost smb because of the system. And who will grow up in such environment?  How can we expect smth good from people when we do nothing to help them? We start wars, kill and hurt people, make ourselves just the perfect example of imitation and expect others to be right, crystally white and perfect. Just dandy.

The system is too much, isn't it? And you can't change it. It is too huge and it is not possible for one person to do anything about it, even for many people. It'll take centuries and still you won't know if the right ideas win or just sink in the wrong. And what do we have in the end? Hope? Nothing for sure. Is it possible to live with only hope? It is if you don't think about it, if you fill your life with smth like work, clothes, friends, love, tv-shows etc. But will it be pure living without superstructures and sham? So everything sucks, I can't change anything so i'll be spending my perfect life without thinking about others. They are too far from me anyway. I don't know them so why should I care?

We are part of the system. Maybe we don't do harm deliberately but our indifference feeds it. Of course we can have our own reasons for indifference and not caring. Very objective reasons for sure but it doesn't matter because in the end we get what we deserve.
