Sometimes I feel like whatever I’d do it won’t be enough. What/where I buy or where I donate seem trivial in the larger scheme of things. From extreme power concentration to world hunger. From climate change to AI safety. Too many things that I’d like to change, but I feel powerless sometimes. The feeling comes coupled with a sense of guilt of not doing enough and not being enough. Do you guys get this feeling too? How do you deal with it?

I do believe in the necessity of optimism in order to affect change, but sometimes hope is hard to cultivate. How do you guys keep your optimism up?

Thanks for reading my mini-rant.

    Hope for a better tomorrow

    ATLA: “In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.”

    Having hope isn’t easy, but without hope for a better tomorrow you can’t make it happen.

        The video I shared is also a great watch, it’d from John Green of Vlogbrothers.

        It’s a good video on how Hope is not a feeling but something active.

        I highly recommend it.
