The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

Seriously. Some of the things that philosophy does is get you to focus on things that are local so you can see the change, and things you can do something about. Now the world is a better place because you looked at the places you were and did something that is possible for you to do. We should all do this

It’s also a matter of making the right choices. At a small local level it’s easier to know what is right and what is wrong.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
