Just pure selfishness across the board, and a bunch of the rich and powerful trying to assist a deadly virus and push as hard as they can to strip women and minorities of equal rights.

What happened to the Golden Rule? Why does no one want to help each other and do the right things? How can any of us matter when people are suffering?

You gotta compartmentalize. It's the only way to get through a day without breaking down. Help where you can, when you can, how you can, but realize you're only one person.

If you feel you can do more, do more. Help out with a local group, support local candidates for office that mesh with your ideals. Go to marches, donate your time and money.

While you can never fix everything, you do have some power in yourself. Using it can help with those feelings of dread.

Since when was that ever a rule? People generally are only willing to help however much it doeasnt inconvenience them. And only care for close family and freinds.

This myth of everybody caring for and looking out for everybody else is one of the biggest lies of the century.

The rules are set up so that the less you care about others the more you are rewarded. So as time goes on the people at the top become less and less sympathetic to the suffering of others. It's how the system works. The only way to make it better is to change how the entire system functions.

Sorry to go off track, but what is this? I've heard a number of The Golden Rules in my time and the only one I even remember is "It's OK when It's in a three-way".

I see people saying this all the time, but I really don't think it's true.

Social cohesion is almost certainly degraded from what it was even just 10 years ago.

I occassionally use social media for sports and gaming news and that's it. I have never tweeted and stopped looking at Facebook years ago. I barely even watch the news.

Social media is one of the worst things to happen to the modern world. Everyone is up their ass in their own little bubble.

I try to do what I can. I even took my current job as a sort of way to be the change I want. I walked away from corporate greed and went somewhere where we focus on the people.

The world just feels so exhausting sometimes, though. And the world can easily take your desires and your works and slap you in the face and laugh at you for even trying to have a happy life where you help people.

Well first off I cant cry.

Secondly even if I could I wouldnt cry for society, I would cry for myself.

State of society always has some sort of issue, why should everyone go around crying like babies who cant handle reality? That doesnt sound like a fun life.
