    Save the obituary for if it plays out that way though. Letting your mind run wild with pre-emptive defeatism depletes your energy without giving you any productive results. I’m sorry if I sound patronizing but I see so much of this lately and I think we need to address it more because so many people are paralyzed in fear and hopelessness at a time where maintaining one’s agency is crucial.

      It’s so often the first comment I see on an article… Sad and defeated. Kind makes me feel apathetic. So I appreciate you posting that

      Thank you for posting this comment - I fully agree.

      Pre-emptive defeatism certainly depletes energy.
