    Nowhere did I say we shouldn’t demand more. You can be angry and wanting for change without letting those feelings overwhelm you and driving you to despair. If you are arguing that people really should be depressed and suicidal because of things in the world outside them which they cannot change alone then you are wrong. No one should be letting the news affect them so deeply as that.

      We can agree on that, certainly. The line between mental self-preservation and complicity in a harmful system can be thin, but you’re generally right.
