Human history is the history of war, thousands of years of horrors, atrocities, and brutality. This king or that king is fighting some other crazy king or emperor. His subjects do all the dirty work. They do whatever they are told to do; they have no will of their own. Democracy didn't change anything. Nowadays, all the horrors are perpetrated in the name of freedom, women's rights, rules-based international order, preemptive self-defense, or some other noble cause, anything but power.

There is absolutely no hope for humankind.
To make life bearable, try to find and hold on to a pleasant fantasy of your liking. Try self-hypnosis, positive thinking, medication, distraction, or meditation, something that works for you. Get yourself a hobby.
