I'm just trying to come to terms with my trauma, can the world, I don't know, improve with me or something instead of getting worse? (lemmy.world)

The world is improving: https://ourworldindata.org/sdgs it's only the media focusing on conflict, gore and problems as that sells better and keeps people scared. Go on healing and follow your path!

    Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren't a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.

    Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It's what you can do.

    Thanks for the attempt, but all I see are “the 17 sustainable development goals” where the Trump administration wants to take us backwards

    Hopefully I’m just being us-centric and I understand our current issues may be partly obscured by long term trends and global statistics. However we also have an outsized effect on the world and those are some of the first places cut or corrupted, changed from achievements to points of instigation
