Genuine question: how do you guys cope and push forward in this life when we are surrounded by such evil? I am struggling an awful lot with feeling as if the world is just too far gone to even enjoy.
I am not suicidal by any stretch, but all this evil and negativity just drains me. Every single day it’s some new horror being revealed that further illustrates what we are up against. Lately, I’ve just been really beaten down by headlines like this.
I know how crucial it is to stay informed and plugged in to current events, but it can be so difficult. I’ve been “awake” since 2015 or so, and sometimes I wish I could just go back to sleep and live life like so many friends/family I know who are living a true “ignorance is bliss” lifestyle.
How do yall handle these feelings? I like to think I’m not alone here.
Appreciate the guidance. I’ve kind of unplugged from politics the last couple months and it has helped. I usually am very dialed in on current events, but as I’m sure you know, it can get to be very draining and even discouraging at times.
Still paying enough attention to know what is going on, but I’ve toned it down. Sometimes I envy the people out there who are asleep to all of this stuff, just going about their lives.
Once you “wake up”, it becomes very difficult to not focus too much on all the evil and chaos this world has to offer in so many areas.
Great analogy. That’s exactly how it feels at times.
Don’t get me wrong, ultimately I am glad I am awake. I try to guide others to the truth when I can and it helps me spiritually as well. The people who are still asleep are so often so dumb and uninformed in ALL areas that I cannot establish any kind of long term, meaningful relationship with them anyway.
