It's all OK to defeat terrorism, which on average kills a maximum of dozens of people per year in western countries, which probably equates to less than ten people per month. But it's OK, because terrorism is a huge threat to western societies, so killing a thousand times more civilians is OK to prevent that.

Moments like this remind me why I sometimes feel like I hate most humans. People are absolutely horrible, selfish, and ignorant.

Welcome to reality ! Now, go back to your video games, TV shows or social media and have some fun to forget everything you just thought.

I've been thinking that more and more often recently, mainly thanks to social media and politics. Can't really escape from it unless I stop using social media (including forums) and following news. Not that I want to though, because I like to stay informed. I'd do something about the situation, but it's not like there's much I can do about it. I lack what it takes to rise to a position that's influential enough and I'm not interested in getting what I lack since the situation in my country is tolerable, which means any effect I could have would be relatively small anyway.  In short, it's too much effort for too little gain.
