You don't have to care.
No matter what you do, someone will think poorly of your actions. You can't please everyone.
Prioritise the things you personally care strongly about and leave the rest to the people who care strongly about those things. If that makes you a bad person, then maybe embrace that you're not perfect, and neither is whoever criticizes you for it.
Thank you. Truly.
Be true to thyself and don't be a knob to others.
A nice and simple philosophy.
We are not well equipped for the world we've created. I hope you can find something real that matters specifically to you. Apathy is death. Good rant.
Thank you. I try to keep up on the things that affect me but the amount of noise is deafening. been trying to get more into my photography again because it helped before.
It's OK to acknowledge the impact of things you do while still doing them. We live complicated lives which often contradict our morals, and that's OK. It's likely that a 'perfectly moral' life is not feasible for most. We can take the good with the bad.
So enjoy your fireworks and bonfires, despite their impacts. Don't feel guilt for what is just existing without extra hardship. Maybe make morally good decisions when you have the energy. It's also good to continue learning, so you can discover easier ways to live a better life with less bad things behind the scenes.
One minor trick is to use "local = better" as a rule. This is because local means fewer steps to you which means fewer chances for immorality, and an easier time spotting the immorality.
Thank you. Yeah I do my best to support local businesses where I can. And even ignoreing the moral reasons connecting with the community is nice. We have a few local bookshops and it's great.
I feel you. I'm currently limiting my news exposure to just scanning the headlines/Lemmy in the morning and not listening to the radio during the day.
The idea being to stop feeling constantly overwhelmed by the amount of bad 💩 going on right now and save some spoons for stuff that matters to me.
It could be possible you are depressed. Have you thought about talking with a therapist?
Its extremely likely. Both of my parents are diagnosed bipolar with a mix of extra things sprinkled in. I've thought about it, but being an American closeted transwoman I don't trust that everything would stay private.
