The End Times

I’m convinced something is off. I’m not sure how long it’s been this way, but I know that it’s not right. For example, the concept of “Time” doesn’t feel like it used to. I know people spin that into just getting older, but in all honesty I feel like time just flashes by so quickly now, days turn into months before I even fully realize it. And when I try to recall time periods, specifically over the last 5 years or so, the memories feel so recent. That’s when I’m usually hit with how much time has gone by and the lack of feeling of longevity.

Another slightly more ominous thing I notice is the lack of empathy/remorse society has nowadays, especially towards the suffering or deaths of others, be it a war, a plane crash or a school shooting, people just scroll on their feeds for a day or two, comment here and there, send condolences, wipe their hands clean of it all and move on so willingly, ready for the next incident as if it’s entertainment, as if we have been brainwashed and conditioned to have such a numb response to things that should cause outrage.

We can dig deeper. Nothing feels authentic or original anymore. Everyone is being influenced by influencers. The consumerism culture we live in has completely melted away common sense, it’s almost cult like. Movies/Shows are being made solely to try and earn a quick buck, poking at the most mundane storylines for brainless audiences. I find little comfort or pleasure from new content being pumped out, which makes me wonder who’s writing or creating it, because it all feels so bland. I find myself only entertained by nostalgia, older shows, older songs, older concepts, stories of the past etc.

I know this might all seem like a rant, but I think the most damning evidence is the amount of sin the world is living in. I say it that way because it’s more universally understood. There are little to no morals anymore. Forget modesty. Sexuality has fragmented into something unrecognizable and continues to do so. Taboo is encouraged, heavily suggested in our entertainment. We as humans still kill, we cause suffering, we blame each other for things we are not in control of. We live in total oblivion and only think about ourselves. We still have dictators hungry for world domination. It’s 2025, why are we still killing each other? Why are we being led by people older than dirt, trying to destroy what little future we have left with the little bit of time that they have left? Why are we ignoring the suffering of our planet? Why are we ignoring the suffering of people? Why does it feel like the end of the world? At the very least, the world as we know it…
