    Because of late stage capitalism and climate dread. There is no longer hope for the future.

      Agree with your two concerns wholeheartedly but never appropriate to give up hope. Hang in there please!

        I think or of absolutely reasonable to give up hope on climate change. Its too late to stop it. We are now living in it.

          That’s a fair point for sure. It’s definitely going to get a lot worse and there’s no changing that (just the extent I suppose). However, there’s still always hope no matter what.

        I’ve always appreciated a short dialogue from the show Monk.

        Monk: I had hope. Isn’t hope the worst?
        Natalie: No, Mr Monk. Hope is a good thing.
        Monk: You’re very young.

        “Hang in there” is not therapy, to me it’s infuriating if anything. I can list several well-grounded in reality reasons which made me lose hope. Random phrases are not changing either these reasons or my ability to adapt to them. At some point “hope” feels like self-delusion. But it’s nice to know others are not there yet.

          Hmm. Well “hang in there” sure made me feel good when I heard it during cancer treatment when I at times thought all hope was lost, but here I am.
