Make things better by making better things.
I know so many people in my personal life that live under the assumption of a promise that tomorrow will be better than today.
Capitalism. Investments. Religion. Even climate action requires forward thinking. All make similar promises. Suffer today and tomorrow will be better.
But at the same time, there is this tension that we shove to the background that we don’t get to live forever and tomorrow is no guarantee.
So, what do you do? If we did whatever we wanted all the time then we couldn’t enjoy a clean planet or retirement and who knows if we make all the responsible decisions if we get to enjoy it.
That’s the problem when we view things from an individualist viewpoint—”What about me?” The alternative is to lose the self and think of the collective. However, we also must remember that many of the situations we find unpalatable are the ones we create. Which means, we can also change them. No one is forcing you to go to that job that doesn’t appreciate you. You just need to have the guts to take a chance to change your circumstances.
