My “blind faith” in humanity gives me hope that one day people would wake up and realize how they have been duped into believing anything and everything thrown their way — aliens, gods, extremists, etc.
Since most people refuse to believe the answers from personal experiences or wise words from their elders or other testimonies of other people’s stories and continue their “blind fath” into new belief systems or popular trends, then my hope in humanity as a free-willed, independent creature is dimmed to nothingness — an emptiness of feeling and being alone.
Then again, I see that people pick up after themselves after a downfall. And that’s what give me hope in humanity as a whole. And just like nature going through periods of forest fires and new sprouts, I’m hopeful that the cycle of illusion will have been conquered and that people will learn to “just be there” for each other in times of need.
Sure, some act strange after their personal revelations while most rationalize that’s how life is and continue their daily routine as if nothing happened — “business as usual”, if you will. But I see that concept as another failure — humanity living in denial that everything and everyone is fine and dandy where pain and suffering exist on this planet.
So why is hope is good as being dead? Because while people continue to pray to an invisible god; while businesses continue to pledge their wealth to unknown recipients; while governments continue to corrupt their people and environment, I hope everyone dies a peaceful death and hope for nothing more than the release of their physical carbon-based forms.
