There is nothing good left in this world. I don’t plan to kill myself, but I don’t see much value in living.

The last 4 years have been very dark but I hope the following quote gives you a better perspective: "Take a moment. Breathe. And then we fight for our country the way she always did for us. Or we will lose everything." https://twitter.com/MaryLTrump/status/1307109748744114177?s=20 https://twitter.com/MaryLTrump/status/1307109748744114177?s=...

  The other quote that pairs really well with this one: “We don’t inherent the world (our country) from our parents. We have it on loan from our children.”

    It is for this reason I have chosen not to have children.

      There might be some miscommunication. The quote isn't literal about your children. Weather we as individuals choose to participate or not, our lives aren't an end, the story continues with the royal our children. Either we: (1) set them up for success at our expense; (2) set them up for success at no expense to us; or (3) set them up for failure to benefit ourselves. Sadly so far, too many of us as individuals have been choosing (3). Hopefully enough of us as individuals have been choosing (1) and overall it balances to (2). However, currently its looking more and more like in aggregate we are ending up with (3).

        Sure. I agree. But, with the looming threats of AI and climate change, I believe (1) and (2) are off the table. I don’t want to bring people into a failed system where they are (on average) doomed to failure. I wish I didn’t see things as so dire, but these ate the conclusions to which zi have come.

Sounds like you are depressed. You should talk to someone about it.

  Thank you. I concluded the same and have begun to look for a therapist. RBG has been a hero of mine for 15 years. The impact of her death was my first thought when Trump won. For me, at this time, the glass has 10% of its capacity. But I will find help to see that as 10% full.

    I am pleased you are looking for a therapist. Always keep in mind you are not responsible for, nor could you change, RBG's lifespan. You are not responsible for the outcome of an election. If Trump is reelected it is not because of you, if Biden wins it is not because of you.
