Things aren’t so bad if you avoid doom scrolling and comparing yourself to others. Almost any other time was worse to be alive in.
This is true. A lot of our suffering is worst I our minds than in our realities. This also doesn’t discredit those who’s sufferings are great, and require a great amount of help.
Yep. Lemmy and Reddit are absolutely terrible for trying to have a positive outlook. If you want to be mad, come here. I’m sure other doomscrollers are the same, I just don’t have any.
“This too shall cause irreparable damage”.
What doesn’t kill you leaves a scar that lasts forever, physical or emotional.
It’s what it’s
When your boat sinks and you drown.
Obama campaigned on getting past it. ( Hope amd Change ) but then he didn’t. Corporations got their bailouts. OWS was cleared violently with the cameras off. BLM notice law enforcement kill a lot of people. The disposition matrix was a thing. The IWOT went on and on. The mass surveillance state was a thing. The economy was better but 88% of households were in precarity, and a lot of people were homeless.
And then Trump won by the EC.
So Ive been waiting for things to get better for a long, long time. I’ve just stopped expecting the suck to ever reverse, or even ebb.
It’ll pass. It’ll pass like a kidney stone, but it’ll pass.
Not before something else that also really needs to pass comes along, no rest for the wicked.
That’s just life, friend.
