Part of the problem is constantly sticking your nose in everything that's wrong with the world. It's a big place. So there are ALWAYS many bad things going on at once. There's always a polycrisis, whether we are aware of it or not. Many even bigger shifts are unfolding that you didn't mention. There are also, primarily, good things happening everywhere, all the time.
Yes, we now sometimes have to concede the eternal bliss and peace that we started taking for granted in the last 30-40 years. Here I mean the Western, privileged 'we', because most of the world was never allowed that.
But that state was an exception to the rule. And it was always coming as consequences of late-stage capitalism, climate change and western imperialism didn't suddenly appear from nowhere. We are living the consequences of processes that started decades ago, and were known to many, decades ago. We just became aware of them now.
The world is messy, and people in power don't act to maximise our positive experience of life.
Smart helpful soulful love it.
