news media only tells the truth when it suits their agenda, otherwise they lie either explicitly or by omission; governments and corporations regularly commit war crimes spy on us and pollute the planet and are either indifferent to us or see us as nuisances and view us with contempt; people are at best hypocrites and liars and stupid to boot; movies and television are meant to distract us while our countries are plundered but I still watch the stuff; people who don't vote for this option are sheeple

news media governments and corporations are controlled by opaque unaccountable transnational organizations run by the very wealthiest and powerful people who are all child-murdering pedophiles with no allegiances to any nation-states and they plan to cull humanity and replace most of us with robots; movies and all other media are dangerous to consume because they are carefully crafted to guide us toward a narrow set of approved behaviors and beliefs which enhance the power of those organizations at our expense and keep us docile and uninformed about the true state of affairs of the world they in fact make it impossible to even think about the true state of affairs of the world; people who don't vote for this option are literally brainwashed

news media governments and corporations are run by incompetents who barely know what is going on and have no ability to set agendas or steer society and are paralyzed with fear about the looming threats of climate change and automation so they waste their time on issues they can understand; culture has stagnated and is only sustained by mining the past and reselling cartoons and toys to people who should have aged out of that stuff by now; people are as incompetent and scared as those in power just dumber lazier and bored and trying not to think about the imminent collapse of civilization; people who don't vote for this option are afraid to admit the truth

I act like a happy person, but inside… I’m done. I’m just going through the motions either until I die or I get really lucky and I get what I want out of life. So, I guess… “moderately” jaded. ??? I believe in humanity. I believe people are generally good. So, if you mean jaded in that aspect… then, I’m not really jaded at all. But, at a personal level… I am jaded because I’m tired of dealing.

Does it matter?
I mean it’s not like I’m going to get it, anyways.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I mind you asking. I don’t mind you asking. It’s just that it doesn’t matter.
But, your question does remind me of two fan made supernatural theme videos that my brother send me a long ass time ago. We used to watch that show. Not together. But, like around the same time, him in his room and me in my room. And we would later talk about it because the brothers reminded us of us, lol. We still watch the same shows, but it’s not the same. We just never had a good relationship. Also, he one time found me during one of my suicide attempts, so he is spiteful about that.
Point is, one of the things I would want out ot life is a better relationship with my family OR to get rid of them completely. You know like in the movies, where someone “ghost” their entire family for like 40 years. Well, I wish I can do that., lol. I mean I ghost other people. Why can’t I do family? I know why Because being part Spanish… we are a close knit kind of group, too close at times, I personally think.
That is just ONE thing that I want. I want more than that.
Anyways, let me get the videos. -

O you who abuse the world, O you who have been deceived by its deceit and cheated by its wrongs.
Do you covet the world and then abuse it?
Do you accuse it or it should accuse you?
When did it bewilder you or deceive you whether by the decay and fall of your forefathers, or by the sleeping places of your mothers under the ground? How much you looked after them in their illness and nursed them during sickness, desiring them to be cured and consulting physicians for them in the morning when your medicine did not avail them and your wailing for them did not benefit them. Your mourning over them did not prove useful to them and you could not achieve your aims. You could not ward off (death) from them with all your power. In fact, through the dying man the world presented an illustration for you and showed you by the example of his falling down how you would (also) fall.
Therefore, who can abuse it when it has announced its departure and called out that it would leave! It had given news of its own destruction and the death of its people. By its hardship it set an example of their hardships. By its pleasures it created eagerness for the pleasures (of the next world). It brings ease in the evening and grief in the morning by way of persuasion, dissuasion, alarm and warning. People abuse it on the morning of their repentance but there are others who will praise it on the Day of Judgement. The world recalled to them the next life and they bore it in mind. It related to them (things of the next life) and they acknowledged them. It preached to them and they took lesson therefrom.
