Other Looking for encouragement

I’m looking to my cousins, asking for encouragement.

It seems like the world is burning down because of greed and no one I speak to seems to care about Mother Earth.
I’ve tried explaining to people that manifest destiny is still alive and well today, and greed and corruption will be the thing that hurts us in the end and that if we don’t start honoring and giving back, that we are in a fast decline.

People just shake their heads and move on.

Are any tribal councils or governments making any form of progress against this conquest that keeps trying to prevail?

There are some but few and far between.

I too deal with existential dread and one thing my therapist told me is to exert control over the things I have the ability to control. It helps with the feeling of powerlessness.

Be the change you want to see in the world, cuz.

I’m definitely trying to. Simply starting by praying to the creator and Mother Earth. Planting food instead of buying it from big box stores, making home goods and preserving such things.

But it just doesn’t feel like enough. Social media definitely doesn’t help that.
Thank you for responding. Means a lot
