How do I cope with the fact that everything fucking sucks nowadays, and that it gets worse every year? I'm struggling to maintain optimism and happiness in this age of collapse and disintegration.
Read Ecclesiastes
Don't dream too big and try to accept how things are. Maybe you can't change the world around you, but you can enjoy your time in it.
It's not the end of the world, just the end of the world as we know it. I think we all have very bright futures ahead of us.Spend more time outside. It sucks that people have memed "touch grass" into a meaningless catchphrase. Spend time in the sun and the fresh air. Visit a park. Go hiking or camping. If you aren't into any of that, at least try to get out of town or even just out of the neighborhood. Just go look at something that isn't that stuff around you that kind of sucks.There is so much beauty everywhere, but you have to go look at it. It isn't here on this screen.
>>33673625Everybody of every generation has been exactly like you. Every human mind is limited to the context of its own lifespan. Its easy for silly things to suck because we have no other frame of reference. I don't know about you but for me, personally, it helps to remember that my existence in and of itself is nothing less than a statistical miracle. Don't get so wrapped up in your melodramatics that you forget your consciousness is a gift given to almost nothing in our endless universe. Simply to be alive and aware that you exist is a thing so unlikely to happen that, to our knowledge, it happens nowhere else in a billion light years in any direction. If you can't squeeze any enjoyment out of this life then you were destined to fail regardless of your circumstances. Compounding and breeding future generations of young people who have absolutely no resiliency or ability to bounce back from any adversities whatsoever will be the end of the human experience. Knock it off.
>>33673625Reconcile with the fact your happiness is uncorrelated with your situation or the state of the world. The single most difficult thing one can do. Even I can only do it like 40% of the time. Get off social media and don't watch news either.
>>33673625>everything sucksThat is not true, and the problem is in you.
>>33673625Get a mare you can love and cherish.
