With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore? (lemmy.world)

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?

Its really good to care so much, but not to despair over the world that you individually cant change.

Live for the life of your friends and lovers not the whole human race. As a human race we should work together and not as individuals, but your own personal satisfaction wont come from whether or not there is a famine. Either way what happens happens. A famine will be much better if you die in a hole full of empty cans alongside your husband, friend, boyfriend, and girlfriend.

Also, join a local activism group and work to help local issues like all the homeless people. They can be an avenue of making friends and finding worth too! Use your activism group as a way to make friends not exclude friends, and find an enemy you all agree on. You will feel much better if you work out additionally.
