hehehe… I understand because I do feel helpless myself. I have been placed on this planet and I do not have the option to get off it, just like how you can place a cockroach in a bottle and it’s just going to be stuck in there against its will. The cockroach is hopeless. The only way out is death, but that is another story. What I want to say is that it’s true, we’re helpless. We are at the mercy of this reality for whatever reason, and there is nothing we can do about it. How do I deal with this helplessness? I embrace the fact that I am helpless, that this is the reality that I have to live with. Instead of worrying about what I cannot change, I want to focus on what I can change. In other words, do what I can. It’s much more fulfilling than trying to go against something that you cannot change. Embrace your helplessness.
