My trick/strategy/muscular practice when I feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or furious (or, hey, all of these) re: the interlocking oppressions that individualism and greed enact:
I take a breath, and then I say, 'stay fascinated.'
And I think about whether I am, in fact, still intrigued, still drawn in by beauty, still noticing what's unexpected and very funny, still in so many ways in love with the world.
So far: I am.
It helps.
I can just go back to loving the world, and work from there.
