ive seen the take lately that "how can someone go to pride when theres so much suffering in the world" and im like its exactly this!!! we HAVE to have joy too whenever and whereever we can take it
And that’s the original point of pride too! To find pride even in a moment where marrying your partner was illegal and the government was refusing to acknowledge another deadly virus. You HAVE to have joy.
As opposed to the times when there -hasn't- been so much suffering in the world 🤔
Certainly we should always aim to reduce suffering, but to be contrarian, considering per capita suffering of the human animal currently v. 1000 years ago, it's a no-brainer that right now is comparatively paradise
