seriously, how do I deal with this?
I just read people are dying from the heat is australia
and i´m like... oh it´s happening

I mean, when I was a kid I thought I would grow up to live in a better world, that things would get better, people would fight misery and hunger and stand against war... etc.

and now I have to deal with the scary fact that I don´t know what the world is going to be like in 10, 20 years and I´m going all Thom Yorke about it, like it REALLY brings me down, and the idea of seeing more death, misery and war and selfishness, and living becoming more and more difficult, I don´t know what to expect but it makes me so hopeless...

Help me deal with it. Tell me it´s not so bad. LIE if you have to.

stop imagining worst case sceanarios, think best case.

make it a habit to think positive, it's easy to get scared, but remember there are an infinite number of posibilities.

focus on the positive, do what you can to make things better, any little thing will make you feel better. join a volunteer group? plant a tree, rescue an animal, celebrate life.

Don't worry about it. The world is going to end on December 12, 2012.

And that's not very far away, so you'd better enjoy the ride.

None of that is going to stop the things that we´ll have to see shortly, the things that we´re already seeing. I just don´t know how to deal with the fact that things are happening, things will happen.
