You need to separate yourself from the media poison. If you look around where you actually live, you will see good people just trying to make a good life for themselves and their children. Here and there you will find hatful, destructive fools, but for the most part human beings are at least trying to get along with each other.

As far as the big picture goes, you should adopt the Stoic philosophy and reflect that it is all beyond your power to change, so there is nothing to be gained by worrying about it. I don't worry about the fires in California, for example, because I didn't cause them and I can do nothing to stop them. I don't worry about the effects of slavery because I was never a slave owner and i can't go back in time to change history. It's not my problem. All we can do is live our lives, speak the truth, and stand up for what is right and just. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
