And if you DON'T? Well, the creature will sort you out after you're dead. So, they need to manufacture it with inaction. People can be quoted saying 'Well, so-and-so could fix world hunger over night' BUT that would get rid of all the privation. No need for Jesus anymore. The church would have no one to feed to justify all of the money they are given. The poor are perpetual money farms so long as you create a perpetual state of privation. Because people are always willing to donate to charity or church. They aren't even expected to spend all of the money ON THE ACTUAL THING FOR WHICH THEY ARE BEING GIVEN THE MONEY. The don't have to show their receipts."

Get the optimism mug.People being optimistic when there's really nothing to be optimistic about. A sense that someone's positivity has no merit and is practically wasted because almost if not everything is purely negative at the time. This kind of thinking can be toxic because being happy all the time, even and especially during hardship, doesn't necessarily solve anything.
I'm getting tired of the amount of Empty Optimism that everyone around me is exerting. There's really nothing to be happy about right now.
