Sometimes I feel like whatever I'd do it won't be enough. What/where I buy or where I donate seem trivial in the larger scheme of things. From extreme power concentration to world hunger. From climate change to AI safety. Too many things that I'd like to change, but I feel powerless sometimes. The feeling comes coupled with a sense of guilt of not doing enough and not being enough. Do you guys get this feeling too? How do you deal with it?
I do believe in the necessity of optimism in order to affect change, but sometimes hope is hard to cultivate. How do you guys keep your optimism up?
Thanks for reading my mini-rant.
Also, the meme is not OC
I take comfort in the fact that life has always sucked in some way no matter who is running the world or how they're doing it. The old "it could always be worse" is a cliche, but it's always true - except for the one person who has it worse than literally everybody else - and that can't be you or me right now, because at least we have internet access. Buck up, li'l camper!
