Question

I did a long time ago.

Yes and No
. I think it's been about 10 years ago I came on to Gag.. . I forget what happened in the news but things were just crazy and I came on gag using it as an indicator Poll on how far down hill we were really going... In the last past 10 years. I have witnessed some crazy things I just cannot believe to this day the same thing it's like the opening day of the Olympics that was the worst opening day I've ever seen in my life in my life... And that makes me think we are in big trouble but it's the same time I do see things that are changing I think in the next 10 years there's going to be a rude awakening. Either you're going to be good or you're going to be evil and evil is going to get crushed. I think a lot of us are just tired of all the bullshit. . . That are politicians are a part of crazy people are a part of selfish people are a part of haters are part of and I think we're all just tired of the negative and I think we're tired of going downhill fast so that's why I say yes and no... I say yes but at the same time I have to say no.. ... Because if I say yes then I'm giving up on everybody and myself if I say no that I want a better planet and that's what I want

Sadly yes for the most part , for last year and a half I have been struggling , Ever since I lost my Mom and my oldest brother 3 months apart from each other , my life started going downhill , and I feel I have a dark cloud raining over me at all times , To top it off I was laid off from my job that I really enjoyed the beginning of this year and sadly I am having no luck whatsoever landing another job, I been actively applying and going nowhere with it , I am struggling financially and feel life is not good anymore , I can barely smile anymore and I am struggling to hold on , I am filled with constant stress every single day and pray every day for a miracle to happen and sadly that’s starting to feel like a waste of time as well , My bills are stacking up and i honestly never experienced anything like this in my lifetime , I feel this country has gone to complete shit.

Yeah, every now and then I do, but then somebody does or says something that amazes me and completely restores my faith in humanity. I will say that spending too much time online certainly does not help one to instill faith in humanity. As the best of humanity are out there living their lives right now, not sitting inside, desperately trying to make a human connection through the keyboard.

I hope this helps, and I'd like to wish you an early happy birthday for the 25th. My mom's birthday is in two days, and my brother’s birthday is on the 21st. (which is how I know the Peridot is the birthstone for the month of August.)

Sincerely, Laura 🤗 🥰

I don't remember a time in my life where I did have faith in humanity, genuinely. But I try to be the best person I can be for others so that life doesn't end up feeling meaningless. 😌

strateguy632 · Answer

well it has been sinking... and accelerated by people believing "i won't get caught" and people reading "hell is not real" so why not take my room mates stuff... especially HIS suitcase because i am leaving and i won't have to face him!

but as long as the number of Christians continues to increase FASTER than the increase in birth rate in Europe and u. s. then more people will hesitate before crimes.

and see my recent question about 2009!

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Almost completely, but occasionally a ray of hope shines through. Granted, i usually have to go looking for it. Animal rescue videos on youtube get me there. Otherwise, yeah… i’m literally praying for a planet killer meteor at least once a week.

"Humanity" has been here for millions of years and will continue long after you're gone. Just because your life doesn't match up to what you expected doesn't mean everyone else is washed up. If there is cause to lose faith in humanity, then people should stop having children all the time, but as it is, the population has increased from 6 billion to 8 billion just since 2000. It was only 1.5 billion in 1900.

No. Because the Bible told us, "Man is evil by nature". So I was raised knowing man's thoughts of evil. God created the world and gave man free will. Satan Tempts us. So many reject God's existence which makes Satan's job all the more easier.

As long as God exists I will NEVER lose faith in humanity and it's ability to be redeemed.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Yes. Unfortunately, I see very little reason to have faith in most of humanity. There are a few bright lights in our society though. It's important to focus on the positive things in life.

Stetson · Answer

Yes, I did a decade ago when I decided to just do me, my woman and our families and slam the door shut on so called friends because as I got older I realized the majority of my so called friends were only friends when they wanted something

exitseven · Answer

I never had much to begin with. I am probably one of the most cynical people you will ever meet.

normalice · Answer

No, just lowered expectations a lot. If you compare us to monkeys we are doing way better than if you compare us to people on television.

Judging by the state of our world, yes I have. I can see why you did too.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not sure I ever had faith in humanity. I trust certain individuals, but people at large? Not so much.

OddBeMe · Answer

Oh yeah. And when I see people filling trash bags at gas stations during emergencies, I think “Come on four horsemen!”

dudeinohio · Answer

I have. I just hope someday humanity gets its head out of its ass.
