Believe me when I say I was a serious alcoholic for a number of years just trying to cope with life. Like you said, the pressures of capitalism were partially to blame for my stress and anxiety as it’s a very real thing for a lot of people.
Over the years, good things have happened. My life has improved and I have stopped doing the stupid things that put me in dangerous situations. Some people helped lift me up and I have done the same for others as time went on.
It seems that the universe, to me, is based on balance. “Good” and “evil” are complimentary and one cannot exist without the other. To be the best we can be, we have to at least understand and acknowledge the worst of the worst.
When we manage to change the world for the better, I’ll be right there with you. (I just have a tendency to also look behind me to see who has the knife pointed at my back.)
If that sounds stupid, that is OK! People cope. It’s something else we are really good at.
