The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
#11
RE: The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics
I can't speak for every nation, but the system we have is actually very good. We live in one of the most egalitarian, non violent and wealthiest societies the world has ever seen compared to what has come before, and most people don't know this and do nothing but complain. I'm guilty of this at times as well . Humans have a well known negativity bias.



I've been following the news for at least the last 35 years and every single day, at every single point in the news cycle since i can remember, the world is on the verge of collapse. EEEEKKKK.
I'm not kidding, every single day. 

My suggestion is to not watch any news at all for a couple of months. Nothing will happen to you. You're life won't change in the slightest.  When you return to the news, the world will once again be presented as though it's on the verge of collapse. It isn't.

You don't need to worry yourself too much about it, but there is also no need to withdraw from society either. Find a point of balance for yourself where you can enjoy all the benefits this incredible period of time has to offer, but where you can still maintain a sense of what's going on and where you can best direct your time and energy. IMO you have no obligation to save the world or get involved in politics, but you should at least try not to be a burden to the world either. In the meantime, have fun when you can.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
