A Stranger in an Unfamilar World...

Sometimes, I feel as if I don't know know this world anymore. All my life, I always did the right thing, only to discover that it hadn't meant anything. And it's not just me. Everyday, I'm surrounded by stories of murder, rape, war, terrorism, racism, sexism, the economy, etc. To me, it feels as if I'm an alien in this weird world. Did the people in Nichiren Daishonin's time feel like this, that they're in a hell with no end? This can't be how the world really is, because, to me, it doesn't make sense.
