Perfectly understandable. There is a lot of terrible things happening in the world, and having any form of justice sensitivity can make any exposure to it downright maddening. I know.

If you're interested in how I reconcile preferring to be kind and positive with this, the upshot is that for me it comes from understanding the complexities of the situation. Not the details necessarily, I easily get overwhelmed from those. But instead the patterns and underlying systems that have led to our current situation, continue to fuel it, but yet understanding them suggests pathways to help deal with them. I've found that with this information, I am far more charitable regarding people's involvement in these patterns, as well as hopeful about the ways out of them.

If you (by which I mean anyone reading this) is interested in learning these things, you can take a look at them at the following web address. There's a lot there, so if you don't have the time and energy for it all, that is why I have the 'quick' version which is called the Bare Essentials level, bite-sized lessons in the various topics. If even that might be too much, or you prefer or need to begin with information more relevant to this discussion, I'd suggest starting at the Level 2 topic of Community & Cooperation, and then moving on to the Level 3 topics, to really see what I mean above, but really you can look at whatever you want in whatever order. But also keep in mind that all the topics are designed to support and reinforce each other, so the more you learn, the better you will understand and appreciate the other topics as well.

And I'm always available for questions, comments, or even suggestions. :BlobCatSmiley:
