It's… it's just too much, you know? Every single day. I wake up and it's another headline, another disaster, another outrage. It's like the world is determined to drown itself in negativity, and I'm just treading water, trying to keep my head above the surface. I try to stay informed, I really do. I want to understand what's happening, to be a responsible citizen.
But how much can one person take? The injustice, the cruelty, the sheer, overwhelming stupidity of it all… it just grinds you down. I see people arguing online, yelling about politics, blaming each other. And I think, are we even on the same planet? Are we even reading the same news?
Because all I see is suffering, and fear, and the relentless march of progress… towards what? I don't even know anymore. I used to be optimistic. I used to believe that things would get better, that we could learn from our mistakes. But now… now I just feel exhausted. Exhausted and heartbroken.
How can we build a better future when we're so busy tearing each other down? Maybe… maybe there's still hope. Maybe if we all just stopped shouting for a moment, and listened. If we tried to understand each other, instead of just trying to win. Maybe then… maybe then we could actually start to heal. But God, it feels like an impossible task. It really, truly does.
