[Serious] How Do You Cope?

[Paleophyte]

So, it got me thinking "What do Atheists have?". As the world turns to shit and the future looks bleak everywhere you look with bad news and more bad news every day, what still moves you forward?

I remember that we live in a society that is, on average, improving despite existing in a cosmos where everything else tends toward disorder, decay, and an inevitable heat death. There isn't one of us born that doesn't look at this sad old world and think, "I could have done better." and then try to improve it in some small way.
