N=1 but reading “Down and Out in Paris & London” by George Orwell really helped me out these things into perspective.

What’s the perspective? Because it’s seems like it’s always some variation of “it could be worse”. Like yea there’s probably a lower circle of hell you could be burning in but you’re still in hell with no way out.

  • For me it was that life can still be worth to live even if you are homeless or in similar dire and difficult circumstances.

  • As someone currently struggling in a somewhat similar situation to that book, what gets me through the day is unbridled hate towards the system and an overriding desire to see justice
