Perhaps the reason we suffer is due to the lack of a decent role in this modern society. As of now, with having essentially all of our basic needs fulfilled and that we all have vices like television and gaming, etcetera... we've never quite felt the need to do great things as we basically live through the hero of the show we watch or the game we play. We essentially struggle to have anything we fight for.
Sure, we could get girlfriends or have a family to protect, but considering that we're in a system where violence is forbidden, and that there are systems in place that are supposedly designed to protect us, we become lax as we never really feel the need to fight for anything, apart from the scraps gained working a 9-5 job.
All in all, due to us becoming domesticated like puppies, we essentially develop mental illnesses.
The truth is, however, I suppose we do have a myriad of problems going on in this world, though it's never going to be easy to solve, but... if one suffers enough from something, then they develop the will to start advocating for a cause.
Television and gaming and all that is nothing but a bullshit distraction, as is drugs and alcohol. They serve only to numb the pain we feel in our daily shit lives.
Too many people have grown weak, because we're living in "easy times", and when the smallest shit happens, we find ourselves unprepared. And that's often why many people just give up. They're so used to settling for those little scraps of comfort to the point that they're afraid of losing what's left of it rather than challenging themselves.
That also includes suicide. It takes courage to live, and it also takes courage to die, because neither life or death is easy.
I can understand why people kill themselves, but there're often moments where I can't help but find myself disappointes when someone chooses to just make an attempt without any planning whatsoever. When they find a method that has potential and may even fit them like a glove, they often attempt half-assed and then give up on a method because it's "too hard" for them.
Of course it's hard! But if you want something so bad, you need to fucking... GRIND; you can't just simply take a leap of faith and expect it to work just because you've read a few anecdotal articles that likely have misinformatioon about the dosage and lethality.
To add insult to injury, they also expect to be spoonfed basic information about the method. No one wants to fucking work for anything in their lives, even their dreams.
We often dream of becoming a hero, but while it's true it's not easy finding our path of the "hero's journey", the answer lies in suffering.
I get that we're not equipped with the traits needed to become legends, and that for some of us, there's no one to cheer for us; even parents don't often care about our best interests, but unless we're physically incapable and it's all mental, we just simply have to level up.
I didn't know shit six years ago. I took my classes for granted, and for the most part, I was in special Ed, which dampened my ability to a degree, leaving me at a complete disadvantage.
The reason I'm able to do what I do, writing, dking advanced botanical extractions, creating shit out of thin air, achieving the impossible, is because of my willingness to learn all that's needed to realize my dream.
I'll admit... I am being somewhat hypocritical because I still suffer from self-doubt and fear of the unknown, but... that is something I'm working on overcoming, because I'm going to be a fucking hero.
