What is becoming of us?

I don't know if it's just me, but recently, i've just become very aware, of what a disgusting place the world we live in is. I don't literally mean the world, but the people that inhabit it. Adullts AND children are killing eachother. People are committing suicide more and more frequently. Everyone is on drugs or alcohol, to block the realities of whats going on. Mental illness is much more prevalent than it ever was. People in and out of rehab. What the HELL is going on? Why do I feel afraid of what might happen if we carry on like this. Empathy and compion seemes to be disappearing quicker than the ozone layer. Some people are evil, and at the moment, it's hard to see anything good. But I know it's out there somewhere, at least I hope it is. Why are we so intent on destroying the WORLD and EACHOTHER?
