Don't slit ur wrists, who will look after the board
(pretends concern about perks, while in reality just concerned about board lol
)
The only real consolation is that we Americans are not the only assholes in the world.
Such consolation as it is: if we didn't try to claim the moral high ground I'd prolly not feel so dirty.
Claiming moral high ground is human nature and not unique to Americans
I have reached the conclusion that the majority of the population enjoys living in a self created delusion
.
Also it is interesting how people have a tendency to bond to a "group".
I don't think perks actually was going around killing people
I think the problem in life is we have a tendency to make people/groups into saints or demons, when they are somewhere in between.
I just finished reading a book about John D. Rockerfeller. "Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr."
I think one of the nicest things about the book was that it tried to give a "fair" account of Rockefeller.
Here was a man who bent every law possible to get ahead. Was completely ruthless.
And yet at the same time, here was a man who even when he was very young enjoyed helping people.
For example long before he even became rich, he bought a person out of slavery. He donated a lot of his money (this way before he became rich). Also he was a self made man. Who had a strong work ethic. Who do not like to spend money extravagantly. His donations to schools, medicine etc still affect the world today.
Problem in life is that often when you come to a fork in the road. The choice is not "good" vs "evil", the choice is "Evil A" vs "Evil B". Evil A often might appear to be less evil then Evil B, but maybe later on hindsight will show Evil A is much worse then Evil B
. So no matter which you choose u are fuked

If there is a God, i suspect he must have a twisted sense of humor
. Or maybe he is like the ancient chinese gods, who drink lots, play practical jokes, sometimes when they are supposed to be doing something they fall asleep lol
