AFFINITY TO PAIN

Ok,so this is going to be a really short story. More like an opinion in fact. But I have been thinking and observing it for a long time. Maybe I am wrong but I feel I have to  say this.

So here it goes:

In our current scenario where the onslaught of social media is on a all time high, our affinity to pain has grown in magnitude. When I say pain, it is not in the physical sense as in someone hitting or accidents occurring to us. I mean in the emotional sense wherein as normal human beings we are unable to accept that life or the world in general can be a nice place or even kind. We,as humans, have started loving pain, trauma, gore,violence and are finding ways and means to do it. And it's all of us. Not just men. The suppression of our feelings for so long is synchronizing and all of us as a collective mass or group are finding reasons to express it. But as humans is this right? Is animal behavior the only solution and savior of humanity. Is their no way out. Dialogue seems so naive and stupid now that even suggesting it seems lame because we don't listen. We have neither the patience nor the interest to sit and listen. We have become as reactive as nuclear bombs,a little ignition and we explode, scarring lives without a second thought.

So to you as a reader, I am posing this question: Am I right when I say that you and I won't last long considering the way we are going we are all going to be killing each other by the next decade?
