In public it seems like most people are doing alright. No one seems distressed.
That helps. The future isn't real to me. I can't imagine people being here in hundreds of years.I suppose I've just learned to accept it. We are irrelevant. Two hundred years from now nobody will know we even existed, except perhaps the occasional genealogist. An insignificant proportion of us is remembered by history. You either have to be very good, or very bad, to be remembered even 50 years after your death. I'd recommend trying to be very good, in the hope that the goodness spreads and humanity improves
I get it. I'm in pretty much the same boat.
It doesn't follow that we are relevant only if we are remembered by strangers hundreds of years from now. I mean, we can all be relevant now to the people alive now/communities where we live.I suppose I've just learned to accept it. We are irrelevant. Two hundred years from now nobody will know we even existed, except perhaps the occasional genealogist. An insignificant proportion of us is remembered by history.

The point about relative relevance (tongue twister) cuts both ways.
It's what any respectable adult would doI do what my parents did and yell about how I don't understand what the kids these days are into while still holding onto all the things I cherished as a child or teen.
The real problem is the breakdown of community. Once they invented the television, people stopped engaging with their community. That was just one of the many ways it began. Many people also have not been taught why they are here, what the true purpose of their life is. We have a greater purpose than to be self involved with our own pursuits.
I had purpose at one time. I had a career that I loved but due to a terrible accident I can no longer work. After not being able to work my co-workers/ friends just kind of disappeared. My kids no longer need me which is fine. They're adults. But it just sucks being so lonely all the time.
He joined the British army ?
It's as if I wrote the words myself, exactly how I feel! I'm still working though but applied for so many jobs the past months and not even getting interviews is disheartening, i assume it's because I'm just too old for my career now.
Yes, of course you are correct. It never does any good comparing oneself to another but I think it's part of human nature. Furthermore, one can't argue with the facts that this chap has achieved far more than I have whatever the reasons.
