Climate is fucked, animals continue to go extinct even more, our money will be worth nothing the coming years… What motivation do I even have to care to keep going? The world is ran and basically owned by corrupt rich people, there’s poverty, war, etc. It makes me sick to my stomach the way to world is. So I ask, why bother anymore?

    I’ve been having that feel too as well as with immediate future choices. I finally might be able to buy a house, but I’m in Florida. So do I put money, time, and effort into a house that’ll be under water when I get done paying it off (assuming it isn’t destroyed by a hurricane), or do I seriously start looking at moving jobs/states to even have a chance at having a house that will be there in 15 to 20 years? Renting seems like an even worse option since this last year has proven they can just charge 50-100% more and get away with it. And once the house thing gets “solved”, now I have to wonder if we ever get our shit together and stop destroying everything in and including the world so the house thing even matters. Idk. This is just a paragraph meant to vent. I don’t have an answer for you, because any sane person almost has this gnawing constantly in their heads. Personally, I’ve just made goals that have been bettering myself and my surroundings as well as the people around me. As for why? I’m not religious, so at this point I figure if I do my best, I can one day die happy knowing I at least tried to do something.
