Hello, I suspect your first comment is flagged because of this second one. I do not agree with the flagging decision, you are definitely entitled to your opinion.

My opinion is that the world is not nearly as messed up as the news and the social media outrage cycle will lead you to believe. Humans have always inflicted suffering on others knowingly or unknowingly and the world has always been messed up to some degree.

Addiction replaces this existential pain with other problems, be it addiction to chemical substances, gambling or even internet addiction (which is likely the opiate of choice for a lot of us here including me).

IAC I hope you do take a break from news and social media at least and feel better. Best wishes.
