"It's not the end of the world" is such a strange thing to say.

(I heard it a lot today.)

Obviously not. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I can still be distressed about A NUMBER of people facing very hard times.

It is still valid to be worried and angry as a person with empathy, even if is not, in fact, the end of the world.

I wonder if people who say this are really very chill all the time right up until an apocalypse.
