It truly feels so demoralizing to know that there's not much we can do in the face of this polycrisis. Yet what's even more tragic is that many people have succumbed to fear, anger, cynicism, and disengagement as a result of these issues. Our own willingness to transform ourselves and live a life with purpose and meaning (specifically how we contribute to our communities) seems necessary.
This reminds me of two quotes:
How do you change the world? One room at a time. Which room? The one you're in.
If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.
This sounds way too far-fetched but I thought of a scenario in which corporate media platforms would share airtime with independent media platforms as ordered by the government. Like a modern day version of the Fairness Doctrine. Obviously this probably wouldn't happen, but a girl can dream.
