I balance reading theory and org work with fitness, spending time with my spouse, and other personal hobbies. Theory in particular helps us understand how the world is developing, where it's likely to head, and why. Socialist countries like the PRC are rising while the US empire is collapsing, and the so-called "end of history" is a farce. This alone gives room for much hope, even if the present moment can seem dire.
