Then she asked how I could drive on a road knowing that I was at risk and not take responsibility for what happens. It sizzled my brain. I was responsible because I knew there was a possibility of an accident, my fault or not, and yet I "CHOSE" to drive anyway. |
When I start to think that I've chosen to live in a world where people can be so cruel to each other and to animals and the environment I just don't want to be here, to exist at all... I know my existence in the US causes a significant environmental impact, is another American behind horrible US foreign policy... consuming almost anything comes with some sort of price tag in exploitation and pollution... making any income means that I'm taxed to fund violence... I often think my best course of action is just to kill myself so I don't keep supporting things that I oppose.
