I do find it a hard balance.
I know I could go through life ignoring what I know is happening around me. Push out of my mind that the cage I am in is shrinking by the day and simply enjoy life.
You need to find the sweet spot between knowing what is happening and speaking about it without blackballed and debilitated. Maintain gratitude in what you have. Still try to spread joy to those around you. But do not let yourself ignore the evils.
Find peace in reality no matter how dark rather than hiding from it no matter how tempting I may find that option.
