Life isn’t fair, karma isn’t real, good things happen to bad people, bad things happen to good people. Sometimes you can do everything right, and still fail. There is no A for effort in life.
Probably that most humans are too unintelligent to ever make a functioning just society even though we basically have unlimited resources and the rich will probably manipulate people forever as the world goes into a fucked up dystopia
In the very near future, most people will have lower attention spans, thinking emotionally over rationally, critical thinking fading away. It’s already happening. The “5 second brain” is due to phone addiction with the internet, social media, and AI. We need to stop doomscrolling and start using tech as a tool. Not as our primary brain. Could be seen as hypocritical on my end as I type thing. But I just want people to be aware and put the phone done a little more. It’s okay to be bored, be curious, and let the imagination role and take over again.
Corporations will continue to gain more power over 1st world countries. Here is why it is a very harsh reality… first, dont ever believe any commercials or anything else a corporation says. They are, by law, beholden only to their shareholders. These companies will screw you six days til Sunday if it may lead to a net positive to their bottom line. As an employee, you also have no rights typically found in the bill of rights, such as, freedom of speech, gun carry, search and seizure. When they operate without government oversight their employees be become more like slaves and their customers will suffer from harmful and unsafe products, overpriced and low quality merchandise, privacy invasions, and no means for recourse.
As far as time goes…virtually nothing you do really matters, your existence is actually meaningless and you’ll be quickly forgotten by the few who do know who you are, the world will go on never even knowing to forget you.
In the vast majority of cases, people don’t give a shit. Name any particular injustice or form of suffering: we don’t give a shit. Those mass movements for black people to be treated like human beings in the US or for women to be allowed to vote? Innocent dude gets unjustly sentenced for a crime they didn’t commit and finds someone to advocate for them? When someone sees someone suffering in public and actually cares enough to do something about it? Those are the exception not the rule.
It’s not even because we are just evil as a rule or lack empathy. We just only have so much bandwidth and it’s exhausting to care about all the stuff that doesn’t directly affect us. It’s even more exhausting to actually do anything about it. You could fight full tilt against every unfortunate mindset and situation you come across in your entire life and never make a lick of difference, destroying yourself in the process. You have to be strategic about it, unfortunately. And that means ignoring most of the awful shit you come across.
There isn’t a god or gods or aliens who are going to swoop in to save us, so if we want to fix all the fucked up things that happen to people are are controllable, if we want to stop bad actors from taking advantage, it’s up to us. And usually we don’t give a shit.
People generally don’t care. If people realized how little people cared they would be able to be more free.
Even in the chance you go viral bc of something dumb, somebody else will soon go viral after that.
To be cringe is too be free. And the true cringe is changing yourself to fit in some arbitrary boxes. Be yourself.
People are going to do mean things to you, some of it intentional. Sometimes there is no reconciliation or Court or arbiter to speak on your behalf, regardless of your age. Your misery is your choice, finding happiness afterwards can be difficult, but you have control over you.
It’s not that the people who offended you do not deserve a finger wagging, it’s not that you don’t deserve reconciliation from those that hurt you, but that sometimes you ain’t going to get it, and you need to learn to be cool with that because your choices are to remain angry, or get over it. I know that sucks, but you don’t have another choice.
A wise man once said, something along these lines at least: “hey justice system that requires an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.” –Hamurrabi
You’re already dead before you can experience life. Everything is automatic and your life is actually a loop of passed events happening in a real-time illusionary perceptive state, made worse by the fact it feels very real but is in fact just another dream
Things at times don’t go according to your plan. There’s nothing you can do about it. But, that’s okay. Accept it, cry over it today, start again tomorrow.
That everything is predetermined, and you were made how you were for a specific purpose. For good or bad or maybe a mix of both. There’s literally nothing you can do to escape your fate.
On the quantum level we are all one and both simultaneously a fuck up and a savior.
No matter how much money you have, no matter how smart or accomplished you may be, you will fall victim to the dumbest people in your country. And the bigger that country is, the greater the chances, and the consequences.
Most people only have a few people that truly cares about their personal wellbeing. Often times it’s family member like parents or siblings. Other people don’t even get that.
We all live a lonely life and don’t feel understood.
That most of the people in these threads on Reddit are extremely sheltered and think that putting in minimal effort and failing is some kind of “harsh reality”.
The harsh reality is that we’ve got a bunch of first world teenagers repeating the same answers to this same thread every week while people all over the world are figuring out how not to starve to death.

You do not admit you were wrong and apologize nearly as much as you should.
You. Will. Die.
That’s it. It harsh, to some. But is there anything more Real?
You will die earlier or later than you think you will, with much left unsaid, and much left undone.

The struggle is the way.
You are on your own in this world.
Reality is nothing but a collective hunch
Despite the toilet paper looking clean, you’re still walking around with a dirty ass.
Death comes to us all no matter how hard we fight against it. Drugs and surgery might help a bit but that’s just a slight delay

Friendships made over alcohol will melt away faster than the ice cube in your glass.

Those that say, “I do not believe in God, when I die, I will just cease to exist”
They are absolutely correct.
Saved by faith, not by works, so that none may boast.
No one is your friend. Trust Noone. Even u spouses People always ask themselves ” what’s in it for me”
People don’t care about you as much as you think.
You’re gonna die.
Unless you do something pretty significant in your life, 99% of us will be forgotten about within 3 generations.

Facts don’t care about feelings.
Reality doesn’t care about your lived experience.
You’re not special.
You will have to parent your parents the older yall get.
Size does actually matter

(So have fun while you’re here!)
Safety is an illusion.
No one will ever think about you as much as you think about you
“Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”
Your parents want you to listen to them but by the end of life, they will not listen to you.

No one will take care of you except yourself.
Being naturally physically attractive matters, a lot.
Being nice doesn’t get you ahead.

Never expect anything from anyone. Someone may say they will be your friend for life but don’t expect that since people change.
I’ve seen the same question over and over in the past month.

Thanks god, you hypocrite sociopath, meglomaniac.
People lie to you more often than you think. It’s usually white lies to avoid conflict.
We make Sh!+ up and then fight like hell over it (religion, borders, etc).
In 100 years nothing you’ve done will matter and no one will remember you or care that you existed at all.
The vast majority of able bodies poor people are poor by choice.
No matter how much money you have, no matter how smart or accomplished you may be, you will fall victim to the dumbest people in your country. And the bigger that country is, the greater the chances, and the consequences.
