If different groups of people want different things for society, in most cases only one of those groups can get what they want.
It's good to push for what you want. But living means accepting that things cannot always go your way, and that sometimes things are going to go in the way of other people.
Is up to each one how much they want to pressure, invest and fight for making things their way. And when to give up and accept that something is going to go other way and find ways to cope.
I write this because what I'm lately seeing is people destroying their own mental health over some recent events. And that's not a healthy way to face the world I think. People have limited energies, and pushing everyone to fight all the time is devastating for some.
Maybe reflect if you are causing despair in others or if you are feeling dread by current state of the world. Reflect how much of what you are feeling are forced and how much is in your own control. And for all that's in your own control try to be happy.
At least that's my humble advice.
