Feeling pretty doomy right now, lemme hear some positives! Generally positive, specific to your life, whatever you got. What’s something good going on that makes the future seem a bit brighter for you?

    You and I both have the power to change a lot more about what is going on. It’s ok to decide not to even if you can control it because not everyone can be forced to make the sacrifice required to change the world. Your perspective is also very dependent on your location in the world right now. Sometimes it’s not the news, it’s your friends, family, and neighbors suffering.

    Be careful not to minimize the hardships of other people right now, even if it’s quiet and peaceful outside your house (or the world, statistically or historically).

      I feel what you said is fairly judgmental, and I was just trying to add a bit of positivity to the conversation.

      You don’t know anything about my life’s journey or the challenges I have been through.

      I don’t ignore the crazy in the world, I believe I do my best to improve the world in the ways I can. I try to focus my time and attention on the things that are most important to me.

      I can’t directly stop trump waging war on Iran as much as I can stop Putin waging war on Ukraine. But if I can contribute in some way to helping mitigate damage I will.

      Everybody goes through hardship at some point in life regardless of circumstance, and to minimise that is not right, but even people in a war zone are entitled to find happiness and joy in the small things. But I also appreciate circumstance change the ability to control these feelings but don’t completely remove that ability.
