And than I have times of equaly great optimism and belief in humanity. I am convinced myself if there was civilization that destroyed our civilization that I am gonna be there to rebuild it.

Honestly, it worries me at time. I consider myself a person who loves people and humanity, a new age-y cosmopolitan... but at times I hate it. At times I am frustrated with it.

do you notice simmilar change of your beliefs yourself?
Venus, my beliefs and everything about life and the world change on an almost daily basis.

You are definitely not alone.
