Framing. That’s all it is.

Evil will thrive for a time, good will thrive for a time, ultimately that’s not up to you. What others do and how they are or are not rewarded is not up to you. What does it matter anyway? Those who successfully do evil will die and be forgotten anyway, their actions having as little consequence as anyone else alive today.

You say you do your best to do good things? Great, focus on that. Because that is up to you. Whether in poverty or in absurd wealth, what matters is what you do with what you have. Evil people do evil things, it’s to be expected. Why would you frustrate yourself with ignorant people acting as expected? And though it may be unjust, why compound it with anger over what you can’t control?

Afterall, wouldn’t you rather be governed by your commitment to bringing what good you can into the world instead of being consumed with frustration of evil acting like itself?

I want to be able to sleep comfortably and eat

Of course, but it’s never truly guaranteed for anyone, is it? I’ve been in poverty before, starved and homeless. Today I’m a Punk that got lucky, and I recognize I could just as easily lose it all tomorrow. Ultimately, it’s not up to me what life throws at me at any given moment. I only have control over my reaction. I can tell you from personal experience that material security is not what primarily builds up stability of the mind.

I’m not some jackass that’s going to tell you that basic necessities don’t matter at all, rather that you’ve got to accept that they’re never guaranteed. I won’t spew some bullshit that evil people doing evil things isn’t really all that bad, but rather that you need to accept the reality we all share. Life will throw bullshit after bullshit at you, but it will never dictate how you react to the bullshit. Your material conditions are forever a slave to circumstance, but your mind cannot be conquered by anyone but you.

There is no stability of mind when I spent my childhood being sexually abused and being told to shut up about it, and when I have no social circle or interactions

Look, I’m gonna be completely frank with you: I’m sorry all this happened to you, but you absolutely have it within you to grow beyond anything and everything that has ever happened to you. Your past isn’t holding you back; it’s your opinion of it. You got dealt a shitty hand and it isn’t fair that you have to be the one to get over it, but that’s reality whether you choose to accept it or not. You can choose to accept it and choose to accept that it doesn’t define you. That’s all up to you and only you. People do terrible things and of course it’s unjust, unfair, etc. The only thing you control is how you react to it. If you are still haunted by it, still agonize over it, if you’re embittered by it, that’s on you. It may be hard, difficult, and maybe even feel impossible, but those feelings will absolutely betray you from recognizing the reality that it’s always within you to rise above. I will forever die on that fucking hill that you always have it in you to remain unconquered.

this sentiment basically just serve the writer at the expense of the subject and is generally harmful
