      I don’t think so. Climate could be fixed and humans are resilient.

      And even if so, nothing I can do to prevent it. Just enjoy the present.

          what about them? OP is correct to teach his kids to live in the moment and not spend energy on things they can not change.

          My kids cannot do anything about it either, yet. I will teach them the best I can. Maybe they will want to get into politics and fix the mess, or just do the best they can. Use green solutions like bikes and public transport, recycle, etc.

        Very Stoic. Spend energy on things you can control and don’t on things you can’t.

        Just wish I could get my anxiety brain to get on board with that.
