What I'm hearing you say is...
Did I hear you well?
Is there more?
Every day...
If you quit now,
You will end up back where you first began...
And when you first began,
you were desperate to be
where you are right now!
Keep going!

Seems reasonable...
If you want to understand how to fix a problem in the world, you have to ask yourself who is profiting from the problem...
... not who is suffering from it.

Political explanation from Ann Landers (probably from the '60s)
- Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.
- Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk.
- Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it.
- Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.
- Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
- Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull.
This has been my experience.
Most people aren't looking for your opinion and solution, they are looking for validation and sympathy.

Keep hope alive!
I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
~ Anne Frank
OG words to ponder
At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: "I have to go to work - as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I'm going to do what I was born for - the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?"
- But it's nicer here...
So you were born to feel "nice"? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don't you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you're not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren't you running to do what your nature demands?”
~ Marcus Aeurelius
Fulfillment - wouldn't that be nice?
You'll never be truly satisfied with where you are It's life - there's always another level
That's why putting off your happiness until you reach "X" goal is dangerous
It's about falling in love with the process, growth and pursuit of your goalsThat's where fulfillment lies
~ Mackenzie Smith
Good advice...
The Gell-Mann Razor:
Assume every media article contains a non-zero percentage of false information.
Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:
- Seen primary sources
- Spoken to 3 domain experts
One of JFK's favorite sayings - still applies to many of today's situations
Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.
leaving the other problems unresolved...
Money can only solve money problems.
