Just remind yourself daily that life is incredibly complex, that simplicity, except in the rarest of cases, is a myth (if you finally 'have the answer' you've only decided which lie you're most comfortable believing), that the global socio-economic system we are a part of has more moving parts than any one person could conceivably grapple with let alone understand, and that almost everyone, almost all the time, is working off a best guess. In other words, don't play the blame game, demand much of yourself, demand little of others, and appreciate everything you have, which, as soon as it's under your nose, becomes light, airy, invisible--until it has suddenly evaporated. We're all prey and prone to our own little fantasies--we live our fictions. That's why the madman laughs. His hoarse chuckle is not a sudden aberration or break, not the unfortunate collapse of some 'right' mentality but the final, total dissolution of an imposition--the breaking of the yoke.
