I wholeheartedly agree with you. People in my personal life have quite often tried to drag me into this way of thinking. I would rather die than be this way. It’s like learned helplessness, or sticking your head in the sand. I recall reading the experiences of Holocaust survivors and some of them described this way of thinking being prevalent amongst their Jewish comrades throughout the rise of the Nazis.
Something I’ve noticed is some people really don’t like it when you deny this fatalist thinking and fight against it. It’s a phenomenon I don’t understand but have experienced.
