parasite

i think we belong to the most lazy and over-privileged generation ever. there's nothing for us to worry about. no lack of food, money, shelter, no wars or diseases, nothing. our lives are as perfectly peaceful and uneventful as you could wish it to be, but ironically it gives us so much more to worry about.

we do not have to worry about the 'trivial' survival issues that our parents and endless forefathers had to worry about like food and money, so we ponder about 'greater' issues such as existantialism and other nonsense that we weren't programmed to think about.

in the past, the most problematic issue was probably how to earn more money to support their families, which is fine enough since it the solution is rather obtainable. they were happy once that was solved. now we idiots think about teenage romance, the meaning of life, all sorts of shit that have no real answer or solution and probably no real purpose as well. in the end we get very stressed and unhappy, all over nothing.

see the difference? they had solutions and we have nothing. we are the cause of our own downfall. all the socio-economic development was supposed to help us, not kill us. maybe people in the past would prefer to remain poor if they found out the shit they were going to face next.

and this is a wonderful example of a lazy and over-privileged person of this generation thinking about issues that have no purpose at all. i am a waste of space. i think earth would be a whole lot less crowded and problematic if idiots like myself (and you) were not around. we just consume and pollute without giving anything back. we are lazy and over-privileged parasites of the earth.
