Do good things and talk about them. And if good things are done to you, for you, around you, also talk about then. Because knowing may inspire others. Because folks feel lonely and caught in endless doom. Because we sometimes need a push to do something: it's easier if we know there is someone else, even of they are just a voice on the little screen in our pockets. Because we need to combat the negativity bias.

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social You're right, but I'm so old and so tired. Too tired to do anything, good or bad. I just want to sit here and watch the clouds. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social everyone experiences despair it's when despair curdles into cynicism that you move to something different: acceptance of the unacceptable cynicism is acceptance and when you give voice to cynicism, you drag down everyone else around you you help the thing that put you into despair if you can't stop being cynical, at least stop fighting those who still have hope: shut up but even more useful, is give a positive voice to things. make that effort
