I understand, sometimes there are very natural reasons for concern, valid reasons, reasons that a clowny screed will likely not affect.

Succumbing totally to that… will make things worse. Ideally, all of that energy could be spent either actually trying to do something that is in some way useful… or at least not be expended on stressing yourself into an early grave.
I’m not really trying to demand people be a certain way, I’m just trying to echo the fatalism, but reorient it in a way that it might … give people permission, so to speak, to try to exist in, think from a less taxing perspective.
One must imagine Sisyphus laughing hysterically, at least sometimes, for no immediately apparent reason.
