The ideal world will never exist, if history is an indication. There will always be warmongers, demagogues, megalomaniacs somewhere in the world who will manipulate circumstances to try and perpetuate themselves by means foul. Also scamsters, criminals, corrupt officials and so on.
So, what does an average Jane (or Joe) do?
Stop wishing for an ideal world. Instead, improve yourself if you can. Do your job well. In a small way, get into doing some good for others, through an organisation, or a group of friends.
If you can even teach your kids some values and ethics, it may not change the world, but it may make a difference to their lives.
Also, enjoy what you have. There are many blessings we all have in terms of family, friends, career, or whatever. Enjoy these to the fullest. Get into creative pursuits- read, write or create music. Or play Golf.
You may still get through it unscathed.
