Hopeless predictions for the future

・J-Alerts becoming normal, direct hits when the sense of crisis has completely faded, enormous damage and hell spreading across the Japanese archipelago
・Economic collapse, declining productivity, increased consumption, and the right to survival to be selected. A society where destruction, looting, crime, and abandonment of the weak are justified
・Distrust and contempt for others dominates society, and only a few capable people survive. Disputes have become commonplace, and everyone lives while hating someone
・People's lack of understanding and “you suffer too because you are suffering” becomes common sense. Everyone has a grudge against someone else's happiness and tries to destroy it
・Lack of understanding of weakness. Vandalism that speaks of justice
・World War III probably won't be far

No matter where you look, there is nothing but despair, hopelessness. How can we be fine in a world full of problems like this? Why should we pretend to be okay?
People who have had many successful experiences move the world, so people who are crawling in hell cannot be saved. own responsibility.
Weakness is not understood. They deserved it.
People's minds are rough, society is in turmoil, and the environment is polluted. I'm really disgusted by the creature called humans. I want to completely reject life.
Is this the biased thinking of young people anyway? Is it possible to affirm that we will live in any form as we age?
Lament is easy to find, but happiness isn't easy to find.

I don't understand anything anymore.
Doesn't everyone have no choice but to live while lamenting?
No matter how many times you try to have hope, you will eventually come back to despair.
I don't want to feel anything.

What do we believe in and what hope can we live in such a world?
Would it be easier if I gave up all hope?

Or if I'm rejecting or excluding something, what is it?
Is predicting hopelessness ridiculous? Or do we have to move towards improvements?

I'm tired of living with hope. This is because no matter how hopeful they are, they are nothing but buildings on thin ice and sand.
No matter how hard you try, everything will soon be destroyed.

... Maybe they really don't want to give up. I don't want a hopeless future.
But hopelessness is easy to spot. A lot of people talk about despair, and I think that is far more realistic than hope.
Mr. Akiyuki Nosaka said. “I offer my condolences to Japan.”
Is there no choice but to give up and live in hell?

The Buddha didn't give up easily either.

Hello.
It's like a sentence in the middle of a guerrilla war.

Don't you think hope and despair are a fine line?
No matter what or how much I want,
No matter what or how much I despair,
irrespective
The world will flow by itself,
My breathing and heart are beating without permission,
I mean it's the same thing.

If Hope Is a House in the Sand
Despair is also a house in the sand.
There's nothing you can do about it.
This is my hopeless expectation.
Is that ridiculous? Would it be better to improve it?

I first became interested in Buddhism when
That's because I felt like the Buddha said something similar, “It's called 'suffering.'”

The Buddha suffered just like you.
I still don't know what to do either.

But apparently the Buddha understood that.
It wasn't until later that I tweeted:
“The world is beautiful.”

I still don't know if that's really the case.
The Buddha only says, “Hope begets suffering.”
If I were you, “Hope and despair are similar.” “Despair can be good energy.” I feel like that.

You can leave it as is until you understand it, so let's take a closer look. together.
If I were to borrow the same words from Mr. Akiyuki Nosaka, would it be “why don't you live more like a guerrilla?”
until the time comes to understand.

Unlike other insects, plants, and animals, humans can think about many things. That's a good thing, but it also causes a lot of trouble and suffering.
Maybe you are suffering because your ability to think is twice as high as anyone else.
The Buddha went so far as to say that everything in this world is suffering (everything in this world is suffering). However, after that, Buddha attained nirvana silence (a clear state without suffering). So there is hope. It's just that neither you nor we can see it.
In order to see hope, you must first take off your sunglasses (me, my imagination, my illusion). That's because even if you just look around, you can only see black hopelessness.
In order to remove sunglasses, it is necessary to know reality by interacting with others and working.
If you haven't decided on a place of employment, a part-time job or temporary job is fine, but if you are uneasy about that, why not go to employment support? There are a lot of them when I look it up on the internet, but for example,

etc.
I don't know if I can go there until I ask each office, but “I don't have the confidence to properly adapt to society, can I work?” I want you to honestly discuss it with me.
I think there is someone somewhere who can talk to you.
You've faced yourself and thought about it enough until now. From now on, I would like you to put your thoughts aside for a moment and take a close, vivid look at the surrounding scenery.

First, let go of your delusions and distractions.

Are there only 2 choices: hopelessness or hope?
Hopelessness and hope are the same thing about expanding your image of the past and future you have created in your head.
In other words, I'm taking the delusions and distractions created with my head and solo sumo wrestlers.
I'm feeling depressed because the way I use my brain is wrong.
Learn to control your own brain's delusions and distractions before thinking about the state of the world.
