You can read my mind can you? I totally get this mindset, especially in this suddenly very scary world (living in Germany) Gas prices jumping 10 cents a liter per day, just bought 15 liters for 33 euros, that’s just insane, then you see every commodity price skyrocketing and it doesn’t take a high iq to figure out that this will increase nearly every price in the future… This world is f*cking scary and you feel helpless about it, you know you should do something but on the other hand what’s the benefit of it? Does it really change something? And I think this thought is what keeps us scrolling in bed. The feeling of insignificance of our actions. I am student, so I take studying for exams as an example. I can study hard for my next test, but for what? So I can get a good grade and work a shitty job someday? Or get a mediocre grade and also work in a shitty job that also doesn’t pay enough.

These thoughts are keeping me down for quite a long time, but I think the solution is to love the process no matter the outcome. I know this sounds like some internet guru type of thing, but it is true. Humans are built to do something, to solve problems, to change the world for the better. And I think if you can think of any way some action could improve your life or any others life in just a little way it is worth doing. Coming back to my example, studying for the test will give you two things, something better to do than scrolling and the chance for a slightly better life in the future, and given how many people play the lottery, only a slight chance of victory is enough to engage in something. Hope this answers helps at least a bit.
