Hi preya2k,
I know what you wanna say, and I think its only a "point of view"...
So for example: Murder
You think there is more and more of "murdering" going on? Well, that's a subjective point of view. In fact, the murder rate is going downwards https://ourworldindata.org/homicides#usa https://ourworldindata.org/homicides#usa
Also, just looking at the dark side is not helping much ... take a look at the dark side AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
ALSO: Have a look at the bright side: Life Expectancy is climbing year by year in almost all countries. Dying of cancer is also declining https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cancer-death-rates-by-type?time=1990..2016 https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cancer-death-rates-by-typ...
I'm not saying that all these bad things are not terrible itself, but it is YOUR subjective point of view that leads to a pessimistic or optimistic world. This means, you can choose your point of view and you personally can change the world. It does not matter if it was you directly changing the world, it's enough if you once meet someone and change his point of view, which in turn might change the world 10, 20 years later on.
About climate change: Currently it looks like we are directly heading into hell. But again, its your point of view AND your personal action to do something about your concerns. Don't use a car, just use a bike. I think this would be enough to change the world. If everybody choose to do this, there would be no more problems with climate change.
To say if differently: There are no alternatives to being optimistic!
Best wishes for the future,
Chris
- nurettin 8y agoBad things happening all over the world less and less is uplifting and we should be more optimistic because of that. Well, I think this is pretty bad advice for times when things keep on getting worse, and it is all about perception. Feelings are pretty subjective and asserting that some objective numbers ought to change someone's perception of the world is not helpful. Maybe it is what floats your boat, nit necessarily everyone else's.
