Do u feel desperate when u think about the world? SophiaQG: i feel desperate when i think about the world,it seems like there is no end to ask why we are living in the world.should we stop thinking about such questions when we are desperate? Morsy: I don't think about such things anymore and probably you should distract your thoughts if they are deperate as you may not be able to see things very clearly. The world is a big place and you are one person, do not take it all on your shoulders, each one of us can make a difference but to what level you can't predict and it could be just making a difference to someone's life, or it could be something more profound. Small steps sometime become long strides, who knows.  duncan123: no i don,t. i think it interesting but know its all up to them. they are all free to do what they like and they never ask me. i think maybe its not the world thats making you feel desperate and you could find out what it is and stop feeling upset.  LawsonLachelle: If i sit and watch the news for long periods of time it can be upsetting but then i just got to remember that war has been going on forever I doubt there has ever been complete times of peace between nations, people or religious groups. Crime an National disasters have been happening forever as well but 100 years ago they didn't have the media like we do now to remind us of all of it on a daily basis. Then i like to look around like look at my kids or at someone holding a door open for an elderly person and I know there is good out there you just have to want to see it duncan123: no that does'nt stop happening while a war is going on or for those caught up in it who tend to think more of each other and help each other more. a war is when two large groups go at each other with violence and it takes alot of thinking about before during and after tv tends to avoid wars and likes riots and street scenes !!  pratibhapagal: snophi, truelly speaking when i think abt the corrupted atm around me , the dead persons news ,wars and others ,i try to divert my attention from there and so eat a lot . But now i realised rather than avoiding it , i hve started facing it in more bold way and hve forwarded my own intiative to make it a better place to live . well, this is good tht my efforts are getting success too.  Rendered_invisible: Desperation in wanting the world to be better is what has allowed this world to reach the improvements it has achieved. I desperately try to make the world a better place in any way I can because I know that in my desperation I am contributing a small step that will possibly allow future generations to learn from. Without it we would still be 100 times as ignorant so do not worry about feeling desperate. A lot of us do. Just try to do something about it and it will probably help in relieving some of that desperation.  RadIntentions: Those who say you can't change anything are wrong. However, obsessing is not the best thing to do unless you're in a position to change the lives of many. I will say this, I think becoming the person one can be is to discover how can have the greatest positive influence as possible, and act upon it. If you think to small, then you won't achieve enough. If you dream too large, then you may achieve nothing at all. SophiaQG: thanks for all the replies here. When we think about the passive side about the society ,like war,and natural calamities。These things are unchangeble.and it`s a tragedy for people who failed in change the situation they were suffering.but no matter what ,we should not stop changing to live better. thanks for sharing your experience,pratibhapagal. "i realised rather than avoiding it , i have started facing it in more bold way and hve forwarded my own intiative to make it a better place to live ."i do agree,and after sufferd the dying of people surround.i know facing the world it is is the best way to let us grow . If you think to small, then you won't achieve enough. If you dream too large, then you may achieve nothing at all. yeah,that was the terrible thing i was through,and i tried every possible way to finish everything in the very few minute,and i realized,it`s impossible to finish everything within one day.One does what one can and i feel a lot of peaceful moment from it .i dreamed big,and wanted it to come true,life is long,i don`t have to be so tired to do a lot.and take my time,enjoying the peaceful moment i `m taking.Don`t want to waste my life journey. "It's just a ride, it's just a ride no need to run, no need to hide It'll take you round and round Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down It's just a ride, it's just a ride don't be scared don't hide your eyes It may feel so real inside but don't forget it's just a ride" thanks ,it`s very useful. | Philosophy Chat Room 14 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
