I feel ya. Taking up golf has helped massively with my mental state. I’m learning to love life again through a new pursuit/challenge that forces me to learn and grow in a new way. It really is amazing.

I spent a long time wallowing in the darkness of the realisation of our predicament. Find something you like doing, alot, and do more of that. It will help.

Your commentary does not soft soap a certain inexorable reality. We all have our biases, and a confirmation bias toward a recognition of impending unsustainable dehumanising tyranny seems reasonable under the trying circumstances.

However, ponder on this as you (and I) refuse to submit.

There are an untold many who, 'once bitten are now twice shy', as there are an untold many who exemplify, 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me',. There exists yet another truism captured in the axiom of, 'You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time'.

Let's not fool our selves into despair. None of this is over, not by a long shot.
