tonight i went to a gala event for humane usa.
humane usa are involved in promoting legislation that protects or promotes animal rights.
damn. why do i spend my time in frivolous pursuits?
oh, this humane usa event was not a frivolous pursuit, by the way.
but it makes me think about all of the things that i do that are not making the world somehow a better place. there’s so much human and animal suffering in the world. why am i not spending more of my time trying to end or alleviate suffering?there’s a part of me that wants to just stop being a part of the music machine.
the music machine: radio and promotion and interviews and etc. it all seems distasteful and distracting, especially when there are real issues that need to be dealt with. so why do i continueto spend my time on frivolous nonsense? people and animals are genuinely suffering. that is an unavoidable fact. our leaders are ignorant.
we all have the ability to make the world a better place. so why do we (me included, especially) not work towards making the world a better place?
damn it, why not?
we watch movies and watch tv when people and animals are suffering. we should all do more. me especially.
sorry, this is very critical.
i’m not criticizing you. i’m criticizing me.
i should do more. i hope that somehow i can figure out a way of doing more to make things better. thats’ it.
let’s all please do what we can to make things better.
our efforts will alleviate suffering. and that’s good, right?
