“I can’t even read this crap anymore. It’s like I’m on a train headed for a brick wall. I’m tied to the train, and even if I untie myself and try to jump off, I will have no option but to jump into a deep ravine, and will still die a horrible death, but might get to watch the trainwreck as I fall into the hole.
I didn’t tie myself to this train, nor did I even board it voluntarily, but I’m still on it.”
I don’t view it like that I look at it as an opportunity to prepare. The same could be said for a lot of us we didn’t tie ourselves to this train but none the less we are on board and if we know our destination we can prepare for our arrival.
If it is really upsetting for you perhaps it would be better if you just ignored these kinds of threads and focus on happy thoughts. I don’t mean that in a snide way some people just have a different amount of stress they can handle.
