Here is a quote for you:

Denying reality never works, though. It may provide some immediate relief, because it allows you to go on thinking that at some point in the future you might, at last, feel totally in control. But it can’t ever bring the sense that you’re doing enough — that you are enough — because it defines “enough” as a kind of limitless control that no human can attain. Instead, the endless struggle leads to more anxiety and a less fulfilling life.

this came from the most recent Marginalian by Maria Popova, so very worth the read, for she nails it. See the whole article: https://www.themarginalian.org/2021/12/20/four-thousand-weeks-oliver-burkeman/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

The movie doesn't appeal to me. I am so sick of self-righteous smugness. We are all of us foolish, for the most part. Satire or not, I am sick of our collective stupidity, and I most certainly include myself in this.
