What I have seen from my limited experience (im 27) is those that tend to focus on the negative even if they are trying to improve them, become progressively bitter. While those that focus on taking care of things that have control over tend to become happier. (LOL sample size).
I can conclusively say that the earth will eventually be swallowed by the sun. But, by that time we shall all be dead. Whatever horrible problems come before then we will likely be gone. Or maybe we will get to see a reversion to a war torn world where we fight over the most precious resource (water). But, right now you can choose to be happy until the moment of your destruction or you can choose to embitter yourself and possible those around you as well.
I know this is slightly off topic, but your post appeared as a plea for help.
Cliffs: Enjoy what you have, humanity is not even a dot on the time continuum of the universe.
you read into the intentions behind my post well. there's wisdom to not letting an unchangeable tide like environmental destruction get me down, and getting some affirmation that there is a problem eases my mental burden.
all the same I'm not going to drop the issue. I do need to do something proactive about the wreck of a planet we are leaving for future generations though so I can better live with what's happening in my lifetime
