How do I do this?
3 years ago
I need help.
I want to be less cynical, but I don’t know if I can. I want to, because it makes me depressed to realize how unpleasant, mean, and cruel most people in the world are, or would be, if they could get away with it.
I have so many blessings in my life: Owning a home, having someone who loves me, having a job where I feel appreciated, enjoying what I do, health.
Yet I look out in the world and see so much misery, pain, misfortune, and corruption, and I feel powerless to change any of it, and hopeless about the fate of humankind. That line in Terminator 2 really resonates with me: “It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.”
Any suggestions?
