No one's emotional state considers a broader timeline though. Yes outlook and expectation are important to wellbeing but you can't reason or bully yourself into being happy when you aren't. Whether it's true or not, in this time there is a pervasive feeling of hopelessness and impending doom. These things aren't unique to our time, other people have rightfully felt them. But also we do feel them now, even if you think we shouldn't, even if the data, when looked at in a certain way, indicates we shouldn't. My limbic system just doesn't care.
