the whole world is self-destructive, due to what seems to be the human incapacity to realize that we are selfish, self-centered creatures, mostly incapable of doing personal and en masse in-depth evaluations of our short-comings.

to me, the question is redundant: hell yes, i've been with people who are self-destructive, slowly or fast. it's the nature of modern humanity.

i've traveled extensively the last few years, and it's the same story everywhere: people want everything they want and want it now, despite the obvious and harrowing consequences, long-term and short-term.

a sad fact, but true nonetheless.

the people who fret me the most are those who refuse to see, or cannot see, that we are all creating our own demise. and that is mostly everyone, except for a few rare exceptions. but even those who see the problem (myself included), have no clue how to stop the madness.
