    I wish I had grand reasons to live but turns out it’s easier if it’s primitive. Eating tasty food, watching fun videos, petting cute animals.

    Let politics be politics and philosophy be philosophy and turn to the small things for a bit.

          Compartmentalizing reality more like. It does no good to live in existential dread constantly, but when bad things are coming, it’s also good to be aware of them. Switching in and out of that compartment is a skill developed over long stents of stress, but it’s a good skill to have.

            Adding to this, we only have so much time and brainpower in a day. Distant concerns are not a clear and present threat: monitor? yes, grumble? yes, keep constant anxious watch? no.

            Better to use your abilities and time nearby where they’re most effective.
