Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

I don't think I can.
All I see on the horizon is, at best, eco-fascism and at worst the slow crumbling of humanity before nuclear annihilation.
Why continue to have eyes if all I can see is destruction? Why continue to have ears if all I can hear is hatred? Why continue to have a mouth if the only words I can speak is righteous anger and cries of despair?
The glimmers of happiness get fewer and further between as life goes on. I just yearn for the long sleep; it feels like it'd be peaceful, unburdened, my metaphorical shoulders fucking hurt and I'm tired.
Your fulfillment is in your local spacetime. You can just focus on your friends, your local communities. Make their lives better.
don’t worry bro, wet bulb temps will save us
