We’re currently living in one of the calmest most peaceful times in human history. Humanity has solved a lot of problems and challenges already, and life is considerably easier for the vast majority of people in the developed world compared to any time previously.
With that in mind, the key really is to not sweat the stuff out of your control.
Only think about and care about what you can affect. Who you spend your time with, what you choose to do. Simple things like hobbies, work and education. These are the things that matter and actually should affect your mood.
It’s hard to ignore the news, but try not to get wrapped up in it, yes there is bad shit going on, but since the dawn of time bad stuff has always been happening.
You and I both have the power to change a lot more about what is going on. It’s ok to decide not to even if you can control it because not everyone can be forced to make the sacrifice required to change the world. Your perspective is also very dependent on your location in the world right now. Sometimes it’s not the news, it’s your friends, family, and neighbors suffering.
Be careful not to minimize the hardships of other people right now, even if it’s quiet and peaceful outside your house (or the world, statistically or historically).
I feel what you said is fairly judgmental, and I was just trying to add a bit of positivity to the conversation.
You don’t know anything about my life’s journey or the challenges I have been through.
I don’t ignore the crazy in the world, I believe I do my best to improve the world in the ways I can. I try to focus my time and attention on the things that are most important to me.
I can’t directly stop trump waging war on Iran as much as I can stop Putin waging war on Ukraine. But if I can contribute in some way to helping mitigate damage I will.
Everybody goes through hardship at some point in life regardless of circumstance, and to minimise that is not right, but even people in a war zone are entitled to find happiness and joy in the small things. But I also appreciate circumstance change the ability to control these feelings but don’t completely remove that ability.
It’s interesting after you read the news, it feels like the world is on fire. But if you step outside, the grass is still green, when you were expecting ashes
I only ever watch the news for any ufo, uap stuff. I know it’s far fetched and basically filler on a slow news day but it’s better than watching a story of the doom.
I used to love watching UFO stuff on Reddit, before A.I. videos became a thing
Even the obvious AI videos are entertaining to watch. Everytime I see them, I think “Wouldn’t that be cool if that were real?”
