What is the thought in your head that makes your eyes wide open and bloodshot? The thought that constantly echoes in your head, but you cannot shake off.

Everything is on fire. Bugs are dying, teflon - and chemicals are everywhere, micro plastics, warming oceans, invasive species, west Nile virus, ohh cancer that I might be actually developing right now, the emptiness of existence, the inability to change big things, that at the end it won't matter. Nobody cares. Me doing my part doesn't matter. Immeasurable human stupidity, global upcoming financial crisis.
These are of the top of my head. But I do know how to keep my head in the sand, so at least I can sleep well enough.

    My therapist suggestion was to: bear witness.
    That maybe our role is just to watch it burn, to acknowledge it is on fire.
    So it's fine :) at least I don't have kids to worry about.

    This fits well with my philosophy: I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

    I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

    That's beautiful, in it's own way.

    I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

    If I hadn't had that morbid curiosity, I'm not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

    Here's to morbid curiosity!

    Remember that there's big polluters of the world want you to believe its all already over and that you can't win. This is a strategy they explicitly employ, and you are not immune to their propaganda.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Life is a mess qnd we do have a lot of things to worry about. But there are many things that worth it living for.
    In my mind my line ends with me so I will take mult time so I don't go to waste. A human cost about a million dollars let's get our value out of this life ;)
