wonder of wonders

i have lived in many cities, in many places on this little blue marble, and it will never cease to amaze me, that one of the most beautiful locales that this planet has created, is inhabited by so many without moral fibre, or sense of respect or integrity.  How can one place on earth boast so much evil, yet to ask anyone, everyone here is nice, and so forth.

I find myself enraged with everything that I’ve come in contact, from the simpliest of attitudes, of self service, to the gravest boldness to steal directly, and then look shocked as though it never occurred. How anyone can function in this manner, is beyond me. I am still beside myself, livid with this discovery.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. We have an olympics in this city, it is poorly managed, and a participant dies before the first event, on a test track, and yet, those who live here, including those in the media, brush it off as oh, it doesn’t matter, claiming – contrary to world opinion, or any other media report, that this was the best olympics ever held.

To live in such a blatant denial, and inability to even remotely perceive truth, in face of all evidence, to me, is unbeleivable.

A city boasting the highest drug addiction of any city on the continent. A city boasting the highest level of corruption of any single location on earth. My God! Even terrorist locations have a greater level of common respect within the individual communities, which isn’t even visible here.

And yet people flock here, and get swept up in the moral decay. I wonder if this is what God was talking about when he said that it would be better for sodom and gomorrah, on the day of judgement, than it will be for these cities. I wonder, if this is the rise and fall of humanity, as a species which acts humane.

God I’m so pissed off that I can’t even begin to put any of it into words, but here i am writing a blog anyway, to no one, since no one here, or anywhere for that matter, would care.

It is amazing to me that God hasn’t yet already had his fill of us, and destroyed us yet a second time, never to let any of us live or reproduce again. I don’t see how we can claim to be good as a people, or decent as a species, when our own gains, no matter how selfish and materialistic, can be considered at all good.

I would rather have lived a more difficult life, in a time long forgotten, with a higher level of moral fortitude, and decency, then with all the amenities that we have now, because we are – as a species – beyond anything I can stomach from day to day.
