problem with humans is that we find it hard to believe we don't matter at all to the planet, to the universe, and not even to each other really....

We are not important, we don't matter, and our lives are for the most part completely meaningless to the larger over view of the planet, the universe, etc...we are like ants at a picnic most get stepped on and destroyed and a very small few find a morsel of food that was dropped that we can retrieve for our family.

I'm sorry that so many shitty things are happening to you, I've been there myself not exactly as you have it but deep in the dark.

Maybe it gets better for you, I sure hope it does. It didn't for me, not for a long time and most of my family was dead by the time it did get better...so there's that.

Karma is as much bullshit as religion, it's amusing to think that Karma is why certain people have shitty things happen but it's more likely that shitty things happen regularly.

I agree that Karma and religion both suck balls...just not mine apparently.
