Follow up query: Why is it depressing to acknowledge that the world we know is a slow calamity of a thousand imperfections?
(Context: I was distressed as a child (teens) about the above, but in my mid-twenties I have grown at peace with the knowledge of the world's many imperfections and inhumanitarian humanity. I'm still very young, I know this, so what am I missing here? Widsom is appreciated.)
- zzzcpan 8y agoIt's not depressing to acknowledge anything, maybe even the opposite. Understanding why things are the way they are might help you stay at peace.
