Europeans are all so defeatist. It’s sad.

I relate to this, as historically I am the same way.

Focusing less on Macro stuff (generally things I can't control) has been huge in helping feel positive.

Improve yourself. Be a good friend, father, uncle, whatever. Make people laugh etc. At least in this context a person is having positive impact on everything and everyone around them.

And never let anyone take your ability to be this away from you, even if somehow the worst does come to pass.

To me, this reads as "delude yourself into thinking everything is fine", resulting in not seeing the problems (and by definition not being able to have any impact on them whatsoever, even if you could have had) and being hit much harder when they inevitably come. In a way similar, although of course nowhere near as globally destructive, to what Keynesians do with fiat money economy.

Then you're reading it wrong.
