What do you do that makes your existence better for society or the people around you?

submitted by Mcheetah from self.AskSaidIt

It's a simple question: Why does your life matter and why should/shouldn't you pull a "It's a Wonderful Life" off a bridge?

The majority of human beings on Earth right now are objectively worthless to the greater species as a whole and do not contribute back to society; are you one of them or not? You don't to have be a millionaire, doctor, defense attorney, scientist, combat soldier, police officer, best parent in the world, etc., to matter. But you gotta do something cause God isn't real and the "God made us all special" snowflake bullshit ain't flyin', here.

I'm a teacher and former-police (less than one year), sacrificing my last good years to help others cause my short-ass isn't getting a relationship with a decent woman anytime soon. It's kind of like a, "Millennials are fucked as a generation and Gen Z is looking grim; might as well help Gen Alpha cause no one helped us amongst these fucked-up, beta-male, feminist-household-raised, soy-faced, Reddit Mod, Milhouse-losers." So yeah, I help my students, I help my coworkers (all female), and I help everyone else fix their daily problems and never get a Thank You for it, but the Barbie movie can whine about "the pressures of being a 30-something, upper-middle-class, First World, Liberal woman who doesn't get her ass wiped daily by the rest of society and how hard that is to not be told how special and wonderful you are just for existing, every hour of every day for the rest of your life." Welcome to 2024, folks!

Fuck, your post is sad. It's just brimming with so much sadness and so much resentment.

Anyway, to answer your question: I raise a kid, and I'm trying to have another.

That's pretty much it. I'm perpetuating the species. I have four billion years of ancestors, and they all had kids, and I don't want to be the one fuckup who breaks the chain.

I spent ten years trying to cure human aging, but I failed. I'm quite certain it's possible at our current level of technology, but I won't be the one to do it.

Your holier than thou schtick is reaching unprecedented levels.

Those of us that live our lives the way that you say you do, don't need thank yous. We don't tell people about it, and we know the world is shit and do it anyway.

Get a helmet brother.

Is this copy pasta? Are you actually a teacher or are you one of the paid shills who comes here because free speech websites are degrading the control that the kleptocrats have over the rest of society?

If you are a teacher you are part of the biggest problem that society has. Schools have become brainwashing facilities and anyone who is not going along with that agenda is removed.

As for everyone on here who is not a propagandist, we are all doing our part just by participating in a free speech platform. This oasis of thought is keeping society anchored closer to reality than it would otherwise be.

Why do you want to help cockroaches? I don't contribute to the cockroaches.
