I’m of both minds here: I see where the person you’re responding to is coming from because most of the day to day stuff is stuff we should take less seriously (e.g. working in the corporate world, social constructs of gender roles etc). But you’re right there are very serious things in the world that are happening often because other people take shit too seriously and fuck it up for everyone else (e.g. “I must be the most powerful person in the world” leading to destroying everything for everyone). We’re forced to take that shit seriously because it’s doing real harm.
You gotta find the balance where you’re not burning yourself out by taking it all too seriously.
it’s pretty serious for the victims of the world, no?
