That’s not victim blaming lmao. You can’t change your life without a great amount of effort, and you personally can’t change the world. Most people don’t even possess the capability to change their lives at least not very quickly.

But what you can do is change your perspective. It isn’t wrong for people to be upset with their circumstances. However, what post like this presume is a worldview where you admit to yourself that stirring over things negatively is not going to ameliorate your present circumstances.

Do you know that some people are poorer than dirt but they’re still happy bc they don’t define themselves by their circumstances but by the things that bring them joy and love?

You can choose to live that way. There are some people who, despite their best efforts are always feeling down. It could be a neurological problem, trauma-related, related to their environment or circumstances or it could be completely psychological. But at the end of the day, this post is addressing the greatest proportion of people. Those that don’t realize letting your spirit low is half the battle one for the system.
