People who’ve lost hope and lost will

One sees people who’ve lost hope – hope that they’ll never be sick – that their body will ever not be a prison rather than a joy to inhabit – an enemy to them instead of a good friend.  They’ve lost the will to change their lives.  They’ve given up.

One sees people like this all around.  This must be a new thing because I’m not aware of this existing at any previous time in the history of humans – nor any other species of organism on Planet Earth for that matter.

This is new thing: You won’t find anything about this in the teachings of Jesus, in the sermons of Buddha, in the philosophical writings of Kung-tze nor King Wen nor Lao-tze nor any other ancient teachers.

What’s crazy about it is that they’re doing it to themselves.  They didn’t catch a communicable disease.  They do not have a hereditary condition nor any genetic defect.  This is happening because people are fucked up.

I’m writing this not as an attack against people like this, but for quite the opposite reason: from being attacked by such persons.  People who are so fucked up like this will fuck up the environments around them.  This happens all the time.  Yet, despite this glaring truth, it is ignored when people talk about environmentalism.
