I’m so fucking tired, bros.
Stop paying attention so much. Like, don't stick your head in the sand, but take a break from news for a while.
I went on a cruise last year and the news detox was absolutely amazing for my mental health. Someone read a headline about Trump doing something stupid and I was like, who cares? There's literally nothing we can do about it, especially from the middle of the Mediterranean.
And when I got home, I realized it's the same here. I feel like I need to know what's going on in the world, but if I can't make a difference, why would I bring more stress into my life? I just come out feeling worse, for humanity, for my own inaction, for the futility of goodness.
You don't need to know the intricacies of geopolitics, the price of oil, if the Strait is open, or even who the president is to have a positive effect on your community.
Go for a walk and meet your neighbors. Some might be shitheads but you'll be a better person for getting to know them.
Volunteer work can also reignite your pilot light of hope. I worked at a shelter and the other volunteers showed me the goodness in humanity.
There's still a lot of good out there. Don't let the news convince you it's a lost cause.
This is solid advice. New owners recently banned earbuds at work, which really sucks, but something curious happened as a result. I stopped listening to political shit on YouTube five days per week and I've never felt more calm. Now when I occasionally do pop in to Kyle Kulinski or something I see the world is still on fucking fire, but I got five good days of peace and my attention to the matter made no difference to anyone else.
It’s not just the news. Every fucking thing is a grift scam. Can’t go buy some bread without wondering if the company sold out and cut corners since the last time you bought that exact brand. Can’t trust cvs won’t replace the doctors with some idiots who will tell you to drink water to clear an infection because they don’t believe in antibiotics. Every fucking time i walk out of my house some fucking American grifting piece of shit is trying to ruin my day and rip me the fuck off.
And I carry that suspicion now with everyone I meet to protect myself. Because 70% of this fucking country is nothing but loser cheating pieces of shit who learned to lie cheat and steal from the “leader” they vote and work for.
Oh and every fucking thing is made from the cheapest shittiest Chinese supplier these grifting losers can find. Just replacing our country with cheap shitty plastic that doesn’t even fulfill its intended purpose. I hate everyone!
You are going to die no matter what. There was never any outcome where you live forever. It doesn't set you back, it sets you free.
its not the dying i fear, it is the suffering along the way
Life IS suffering.
You're doing it wrong
life is a detour to death. you know what they say, the most beautiful flowers grow besides the road, not on it.
The most beautiful flowers grow beside the road, but the best drugs are found on the streets. - Jesus H. Christ
Did you know that the “H” stands for Howard? It was a custom in the Christ family for middle names of all the boys to be Howard.
Anyone who says otherwise is selling something
The people down voting me disagree. They are privileged.
Dying would be a relief at this point. I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid for the 5 lives that depend on me to make it through every dumbass decision this administration makes to line their own pockets while taking from mine. These fluctuations occur every Sunday to manipulate money markets and give some white dude a huge boner.
Your nihilistic views may sound cool in your head, but caring for a family in this economy is far more detailed than just waiting to die.
If you're too cowardly for a revolution you're voting for this risk death or assure it or just hope everyone else is better than you and you're just uniquely a piece of shit is that really better edit I'm not saying you are I'm saying you're betting on being and in that case I kind of hope you are but I don't think so
I'd like to buy a period, Mr Sajak
That sounds painful why
Which administration?
So you choose to be a doomer and worry about things you can't control. Got it. I've got kids. I choose not to worry about things I can't control and do what I can about the things I can control.
An entire religion that has lasted over 2500 years was based of the concept, but I guess you got it all figured out. Honestly, your hostility speaks louder than your words. Sounds like you have a lot going on, and I hope you find your way.
I hope we all find our way.
Amen, brother.
Here’s my philosophy:
If it’s something I can’t control then it’s not worth worrying about.
If it’s something I can control then it’s not worth worrying about.
In the past, despite death, you could look forward to leaving a legacy and a better world for future generations.
Nobody has such hope anymore. It's almost universally agreed that our children's lives will be worse than ours.
It's not universally agreed. You're just terminally online. Lemmy is full of despair. There's hope outside of the Internet.
