Seeing as how you're ignoring me, it would be a waste of time to try and convince you of anything.
However there is something to be said about taking responsibility for your circumstances in life, no matter how external and alien these circumstances appear to be. An antagonistic attitude about events has the tendency to propagate the very qualities about the world you disdain. Feeding negativity empowers that negativity. Getting hung up on the conflicts themselves only reinforces them. Focusing on the potential solutions to problems, and living in that positive state of mind where one plans for the worst but expects the best, enables these solutions to manifest. While it can be disappointing when one learns that this power does not work instantaneously, it's important to remain mindful and focused on these solutions, extending forward a palm rather than a fist.
And as always, be grateful. Gratitude is not a reaction your circumstances in life, it is a muscle one exercises to strengthen their connection to God.
