I adopted a view of monist nihilism. The example in the post, I had the opposite experience. Where people really did come to save me more than once. I have always seen the depth and good heart of people in my life as out weighing the cruel society. But I have to say, I see things more as a form of self running from self. THe more I return to myself, the less I am reliant on others. The scary part is you lose the most valuable part of life to a truly independent self. So I guess its an experience.

At the risk of sounding like a new age nut, there is always help but you have to open your eyes to see it. No one's going to save you but I find that when I rescue myself there's always someone around to give me that extra boost I need. I hope whatever is troubling you gets fixed quickly.
