You are supposed to spread it. You are obviously going to have too much if you are keeping all the awareness for yourself
I’m fine with awareness, it genuinely made me a better person than I was over time. What’s eating me is powerlessness. There’s so much to do, nobody wants to organize, and I lack the kind of wealth, connections, and skills that would make my little person influential enough alone…
Give us eyes, give us eyes
All of this awareness is really affecting my mental health.
I’m sure if you take your mental health concern to a large language model AI specialist it’ll be able to point you in the right direction /s
I realise this is in jest, but please be aware that some of these can be triggers.
Let me give you an example. If you say “Are you okay?” in Australia, you are implying that I am mentally unwell or a suicide risk. How and what does that make me feel? What is my thought process after somebody asks me that?
And the same goes for many (any?) other ‘XYZ day’.
idk what I’m trying to say…Please be mindful of others?
You can go back though. I’ve just posted a comment in another post about how stopping following the news has been one of the best things I did last year.
We need to stop raising awareness and start injecting it straight into the veins of the people that keep their heads in the sand. They’re the whole reason this raising awareness crap still needs to happen!
No such thing, if you are aware you can be part of the fix.
I get the outcry though - seeing so many people being unaware makes my own awareness more painful. Of course I’m trying to spread it but mostly I’m reduced to “Told you so” moments that don’t feel good.
No, I’m really bad at guns and bombs. No vector for poisoning any wealthy/politicians. I dont even have a car to fix things with.
It’s like a dammed lake: we’re hogging it all while the poor people downstream die of thirst!
edit: flawed analogy. As another commenter said, you’re supposed to spread it. But then again, there does seem to be a wall that keeps so many people from - well, awareness, facts, truth, critical thinking etc.
White people: I don’t want to be aware of things my ancestors did that make my life very, very comfortable and beneficial today.
If you do not want yours, I will gracefully accept.
