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.

For us to believe in the future, we need to believe in transformation, that structural change can happen.
It's like cooking a potatoe. When you put it into the boiling water, it is hard. All stuff of the potatoe is hard. It takes time before the potatoe softens, and some people would not believe that it could be soft because that potatoe has never been soft before. But at some point the potatoe starts to change, and it becomes soft at the outer layers, then it becomes softer deeper and deeper into the potatoe, until it is completely soft. The transformation is complete.
In a similar way as how the potatoes fundamentally changes it's structures, the structure of social relations can also fundamentally change. We can achieve societies where we live locally, slowly, in cooperation and samlife. We can loken Gaja. All the potatoe stuff would need to be in a soft state to achieve transformation, whereas all people would have to gain a lokening attitude to achieve transformation.
So we loken Gaja by finding the transformational attitude.
The transformational attitude has some properties.
To find this attitude, we need to go into ourselves and understand ourselves, our relationship to our world. Because once we find ourselves, our truth starts to shine, to our peers, to our surroundings, to our language communities, to our world.
Going into ourselves means to stop hiding ourselves and start being expressive. To reveal our truth. To unlid our bloom. To show what it is to be alive.
To see that everybody benefits from cooperation. From the very lackest to the very hoardest. The hoard may have luxury, but they are poor in soul. The lack strives for survival and has little time for bloom. The inbetweeners are too busy upholding the overledge structures to think about their own bloom.
By moving away from the competitive society, we become one humanity that stries for meaning rather than superiority.
When we say need to move away from competition towards cooperation, thats called a relighting. Relighting is when we change our relationship with the world. To paint the world with another word. By relighting, we change how we think, change our attitude, change our shine.
Relighting shows how we have changeforce. The force to change ourselves. The bloomforce.
Sightsteering is another changeforce which means to take somebodies attention with the goal of changing their attitude. The force to change our surroundings. The shineforce.
Culture is the act of growing together. Cultures can travel accross the world. The force of changing the world. The waveforce.
And lastly the idea. The force of giving birth to a potentiality. The seedforce.
Changeforce can bring the transformational attitude which can loken Gaja. But only if we believe.
