Climate is fucked, animals continue to go extinct even more, our money will be worth nothing the coming years.. What motivation do I even have to care to keep going? The world is ran and basically owned by corrupt rich people, there's poverty, war, etc. It makes me sick to my stomach the way to world is. So I ask, why bother anymore?

I have been following the advice of Waymond in everything everywhere all at once: be kind

I think that's our main job while everything doesn't make sense.

Indeed, be the change you want to see in the world.

That aside, life does become more bearable when you build up your skillet, make more money, and are able to mesh into the bullshit with a bit more ease, which in turn helps to afford more fun which helps tune out the bullshit. Unfortunately, the assholes have made the game about money, so the sooner one comes to grips with that and starts playing into it a bit, life becomes a little more manageable. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Did you mean skillet or skillset? Either way I'm on board with building it up

Lol skillset, but I'm down for building up skillets
