It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Deranged take:
People will see each other in each other and the personal benefit in that. There will be more compassion, beaming of truth, still twisted people be left to their devices, without much power, as the rest are beaming and ruling the world. So there's no fear, no harm that can be done, just inner strength, equanimity, and community, while their twisted ways wither away, in this life or the next. Life and the world will become cherished. Everyone will have all they need, and can flourish. There will be a constant harnessing of this genuine kind and compassionate way.
Doom might come first, but at some point the aforementioned is gonna happen, I believe. Maybe we won't be humans then, but w/e.
Yes! After winter comes spring, and who knows what that may bring. It is the belief in a better world that brightens my days. Even if hope can't heal everything it might heal some and that is enough for me.
We are not powerless agents! Use your free will to shape a better world. Unironically: live laugh love.
