IMO ppl r unhealthily obsessed with “the state of the world.” This scale of focus makes sense if you are, eg, a billionaire philanthropist, famous person, or policymaker. If you’re not, I think it’s ok to just focus on the state of YOUR world. How are your friends & fam doing?

U could also *decide* to gain power to affect larger scales. Eg u could work your way to the top of a social mvmt. Or get really good at fundraising. But there's no obligation. And if ur plan isn't to wield real power, then "global awareness" is just theatre & it's hurting you
