"I guess my thoughts on this topic are if someone can't prepare for the end of the world, literally can't, why obsess on it? If I don't have much time I want to spend that time as normally as possible. I've wasted a lot of time obsessing on bad things that never came, can't afford that now."


And that's precisely why I, personally, focus on positive action. Working towards something better, rather than fighting against what is. There is a definitively different dynamic between the two, internally if nothing else.

I just grow weary of "spiritual types" telling me to stop trying to save the world, just be don't do...

I'm not trying to save the world. I'm trying to save myself, and this is how I do it. We're all different, we all do the best we can in different ways. If my way makes others feel superior -- or less than -- in some way, that's their problem. So-called spiritual types are the quickest to judge others, in my experience.

Again, that's not what happened here, but the initial conversation did trigger that push-back from me, hence my comment.
