It’s not your job to solve everything for everyone. Find one or two things you really believe in and put your best into that (and your best will vary).
Remember that you can’t and shouldn’t try to do it all yourself. Find other people who share your values. This is all a group project.
It is definitely a group project … one or two people doing all the work and two to four other with varying levels of input including but not limited to: the bare minimum; ignoring all requests for input and turning up on presentation day assuming everyone else did the work and ready to accept full marks for the groups efforts; and my favourite, actively sabotaging group consensus to push for their own agenda.
Humans be humaning unfortunately
It is my life mission or something. No I don’t get tired of it.
Real and chad
I had a long discussion about this with some friends today. At what point is it too far gone? Day by day it seems like things devolve even further. The injustice is overwhelming. I ask myself why do any of us put up with this bullshit? Am I the odd man out? Is everyone else just okay with this shit show? We are endlessly exploited to make the rich richer while being squeezed for every penny we have to give. Our healthcare sucks, wages suck, the cost of almost everything sucks, and the scouts is hard at work chipping away at fucking voting rights amongst other things. I despise this fucking country at this point but I still wonder how much do we have to lose before the majority people actually give a shit?
A rising tide and all that. Things that would benefit me that I work to will also benefit others. End of the day you still need to look out for yourself overall. Just don’t be a jerk who wants to take away the ability for others to get better is all.
The people who are satisfied with status quo are the beneficiaries of it.
People like Epstein can’t exist without a universe of assholes who figure it’s not their problem.
No, not really. But I’m also lost as to what you mean.
Just this political system and how its devolved. We use to have experts that would postulate a path forward and we would kind of follow along. Those guys got some shit done but then power shifted out from under them and information age hit us. Now we are all taking turns on the mic and the shit people are saying is just way too wild…
this political system
You’ve not mentioned what continent you’re on, let alone what country, it’s hard to know if we share a similar experience or not.
I don’t have any experience with Namibia’s political system, nor Chinas, though I do have a bit more touchstone knowledge of a few European systems here and there.
Anyway to answer your original question, no, I don’t tire of trying to help my fellow humans improve our overall living situation. That’s our duty as good, caring people, right?
I also don’t guess at solutions. I’m not very smart, but I still believe in using the scientific method over guessing.
You seem like an empathetic, mindful, caring person. Those are fantastic traits :-)
That’s impossible. You pick a slice and donate or volunteer to improve that group. Words do nothing, you have to actually get out and do something.
No.
No, I work pretty hard to scorn all the republicans and other filth I encounter. It’s honestly pretty invigorating.
you don’t sound like the kind of person that guesses that sort of thing
You might want to read about the concept of codependency and see if it sounds like what you’re dealing with.
Like I dont even know what youre on about…
Probably like some AA shit youre trying to school me on.
No need to guess. For the average world citizen, most quality of life metrics have been on a constant upward trend since WW2.
