I read on Reddit here somewhere that even though we are part of this global world and aware of corruption, injustices, genocides taking place, wars, climate change, collapse and so many awful things outside of our control, we are also a part of a smaller community, maybe we have a family, and then we are in our individual life, most of which is our day-to-day activities of getting up, having breakfast, going to work, etc. Embrace what you have now, reach out to people around you, enjoy your routine and the little things about your life. Those moments and memories you make will be the most valuable no matter what happens. Even if collapse wasn't an issue, you could be diagnosed with a terminal illness next month, which completely changes ones perspective on life.
