From someone better at words than me.

"I feel kinda the same way you do but I've found it's really helpful when I start feeling that way to step back and remember that statistically speaking we're living in a time of unmatched peace, nonviolence, and prosperity--all historically unprecedented.

It feels awful because despite that there's still so much injustice in the world and such kneejerk reactionism and also a 24/7 hyper-connected media system that never lets us forget and operates on a principle of "if it bleeds, it leads." But it's good to remember that that's all it is--that the injustice is visible because we're learning. That the violence is horrible because we live in a world where we recognize it as horrible. That the same hyper-connectedness that keeps this in front of our eyeballs is also a huge machine that's powering enormous social and political change for the better, and it's the same system that's allowing beautiful things to happen by making the borders between different peoples and places and cultures thinner by the day."

I appreciate your attempt at positivity, but I rather think that unless someone takes the helm and starts leading us all back to a way of living together peacefully - unless that happens, I think this is the start of a very dark times.

Doubtful.

I hope you're right.

If it helps any, trends are positive. Tolerance is up, violence is down. Education is up, rape is down. Global standard of living is up, death by disease is down. Death by war is down, too, massively.

And if you believe any of those statements are inaccurate, the problem is not with the real world; it's with your perception of it. Ask yourself where, and from WHOM, you're getting that perception, and see if you can't improve it.

This actually reassures me a little, so thanks for that :).

I don't blame people one bit for feeling despaired and frustrated and scared, of course-I feel that way, too. But this country's been through incredibly turbulent times before (including an actual civil war), and our country still kept going and some positive change, no matter how small, has come from those turbulent moments.

Apparently this is just the latest round of that for us to somehow work through.

That is very uplifting, than you <3
