    (There was a show that ended a handful of years ago called "The Good Life Place" The story arc of the second (?) season was this.)

    In a world in which you are an infinitely small thing with no power to change the systems that you live within, by yourself. You can acknowledge that the system is fucked and that it forces you to be culpable in harm to someone/somewhere/somewhen and also give yourself permission to not beat yourself up over it.

    Do what you can, when you can, as best as you can. Its all that can be reasonably expected of you or any of us, really.

    Edited: Because my brain is silly.
