Questioner: When I read what is happening in the environment, about the irreversible damages and how it is in the end my generation and the people who are going to come that have to suffer because of this; there is this kind of anxiety that occurs from inside, “Now, I have to do something about it. After all, I'm the one who's going to suffer. I need to do something about it.”
But then, I go to this anxious place, but then in the end, there is this tiny pinch of feeling that also comes inside like, “How does it matter in the end with what I do? Because this is a collective effort.” So, my question is that: How do I deal with this? What is the cause of this two-sided feeling, this anxious and the laid-back behavior, and how do I deal with it?
Acharya Prashant: See there are two ways you can respond to that anxious place. One is: you say, “What can I as a solitary individual do when this is a collective problem?“ So, you ask the anxiety, “How do you know that individual action won't help? How are you so sure? How are you so sure that individual action cannot make a difference?”
