we must try to form our perspective to best serve our ability to remain with happiness and wonder, regardless of the ups and downs of life. we are but a tiny feature of the entire body of nature, and everything that happens to us is a matter of relevance and necessity to everything beyond us. in this we must strive towards an acceptance and indifference towards everything that happens to us, and instead focus our attention on controlling our reactions to the things that happen. the stuff we often find ourselves chasing in life, revealed to be rather petty and meaningless from a sufficient distance. we don't have much, if any control on what happens to us, how people see and treat us, nor what happens because of what we do. and in the big picture, none of it really matters all that much. and so we must define our happiness not by what we own or achieve, not by how others see us, not by some bigger picture of life, but by how we think and see our self, and live our own life through what we deem virtuous and relevant.

in the context of modern times, perhaps the doomer feels a heightened alienation from the world, because the internet compounds the weight of social pressure and a sense of detachment. however this experience of alienation and despair is not unnatural, nor without value. rather, one must walk deliberately through the mud of life, realizing that there will be ongoing pains and challenges in their self actualization, and, instead of turning away from them, lean into them and face the sufferings head on, developing themselves and their personal meaning, no matter how uncommon or hard it may be. by inviting suffering in and recognizing it as an opportunity to develop wisdom and resilience, we utilize it as a method of creating our own purpose and greatness. in the fundamental pain and meaningless of life, we must not find ourselves with an indifference that renders us lethargic and paralyzed away from caring about anything, but rather an indifference that inspires us to create meaning, and care for things we deem enjoyable and engaging.
