everything sucks
I know why; everything sucks.
Nope it's true everything sucks.
Pick your death, Teflon, micro plastics, global warming, COVID vaccine.
We've fucked this planet hard.

There is both beauty and ugliness in the world, and that's been true for every human who's ever lived.hmm, there's a LOT more ugliness though. and it's really only brain chemistry that lets you even perceive the good parts. the reality of things is actually WAY worse otherwise.
find a fulfilling life doing what you can to leave the world a slightly better place when you leave it than it was when you came into itok that I can agree with
I voted for B, but also C.
Dum vivimus vivamus. Que sera sera.
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
Or to put it another way, stop obsessing over the things you have no real power over and which ultimately don't affect you as much as you think anyway, and just live your life. Appreciate what you have, and the beauty that exists in the world, rather than always focusing on the shit side of the coin. There is both beauty and ugliness in the world, and that's been true for every human who's ever lived.
You're living in the golden age of your species. You have access to amenities and abilities the likes of which literal emperors in the past couldn't even have dreamed of. To most humans, you have pretty much godlike power and privilege. People in the past would have happily slaughtered millions just to be you .
Act like it.
Don't wallow in artificial negativity because the Internet tells you to. Stop doomsaying, doomscrolling, and trauma wanking. Learn to appreciate what there is, and if you're still bothered by the worst aspects of modern society than find a fulfilling life doing what you can to leave the world a slightly better place when you leave it than it was when you came into it. That's all any human can really do.
Everything has always sucked, forever. That's the nature of existence. But everything is also awesome, if you let it be, and learn to see it.
This attitude is literally how to be happy.
The best way to be happy is to not worry about whether or not you're happy.
It's been implied the most content cultures on Earth were the ones who didn't really have a concept of "happiness", so they never worried about trying to be happy, or if they weren't happy "enough", or if their happiness was shallow or "undeserved", and so on.
The more we think about happiness as an ideal, the more miserable we make ourselves.
One of the best ways to actually be happy is to not try to be happy. Settle for contentment and learn to appreciate the little things and the shining moments when they come. People who chase bliss are far more likely to wind up hating everything.

"Life is actually pretty great" says the man from the comfort of the home he owns and has fully paid off, whose stable, well-paying career ensures all of his basic needs are met. "Sure, maybe you can't afford food, but you're still probably eating more than Irish peasants did when they ran out of potatoes. Don't be so negative!"
That's some pretty hardcore "let them eat cake" shit right there.
By and large, people aren't trying for bliss. They're trying for exactly that contentment: a comfortable, stable existence with few major problems. That comfort and stability, however, is well out of reach for a great many people, and keeps getting harder to achieve with every passing year as corporations continue to engineer cost of living crises that are exceptionally profitable for them. People are not wrong to chase more stability than they have, nor are they wrong to despair when their best efforts aren't enough to reach the carrot before the stick gets longer.
If you've gotten to the point where you have that stability? Good for you. That's when you have the option of burying your head in the sand and ignoring the problems that other people continue to face. If you come up for air periodically, though, you'll notice that that's a luxury many people do not have, and there's considerable overlap between that group and the group of people that are unhappy with the state of the world.
But does therapy actually work?I've been told therapy is so you can complain to someone that won't take it personally

"Sure, maybe you can't afford food, but you're still probably eating more than Irish peasants did when they ran out of potatoes. Don't be so negative!"I can see some of yours and his perspective. Yes, the modern developed world enjoys a level of amenities and comfort for the average person that never existed in any era prior. But also, I just received a 1250 dollar bill to have my balls checked out when I'm insured and was referred to have them checked out. While I can afford to pay it, a lot of people could not. The US infrastructure is fucked and a lot of people are barely surviving and can't even afford to find out if they're dying or not
On top of that, as a parent, I can't even rely on my child being safe when I send them to school every dayI trust in God to keep my child safe when he's away from me just like I trust in God to keep myself and all others safe. If only some people wouldn't pursue unsafe prospects.

No, I know why.
I started working out frequently and nothing else about my life changed except I really don't have that feeling that you describe anymore.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/725ebe0b.jpg
