I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.
Depends on how you view it.
Even if you don’t hope for the future, you can live a good life right now. In fact, worrying about the present state of things is going to make you miserable. Because you can’t change any of it.
Worry about what you can affect. Your life. The people you meet, treat them well, create good memories.
The trap people fall into is sitting on social media pushing buttons, thinking they are changing something, contributing to some kind of change. It feels better to think that than to view it as a passifier and a outlet for your own anxiety.
Also, from a material point of view, we have it better than ever before. Our problem is we are living under psychological wars, carried out by news and social media against the populations. All our misery comes from inside our heads, and what created what we are thinking about? News and social media.
Anyway, I could write a lot about this but going to sleep. :)
