I actually enjoy more crude posts like this. It’s the unfortunate truth. Most days I wallow in misery but sentiments like yours are always present in my mind.

I mean - there are people out there who are condemned by society to likely be alone forever. These are the ones who are physically deformed or severely physically/mentally disabled. The latter is because society is ableist and doesn’t want to accommodate people’s needs, and the former is because even the most compassionate and progressive person will have a hard time falling in love with someone who has no eyes or mouth or nose or whose body is misshaped in some way.

Fortunately I don’t face these extreme challenges, and because of that society will give me a chance. I find it insulting that I keep wallowing even though I have the opportunity to change while those who quite literally cannot change in any way are trying their damnest to live a fulfilling life anyway. And beyond that, people form relationships and fall in love in times of war and genocide and slavery. Capitalism or not, money or none, I feel like I can achieve something when I’m far removed from these conflicts. I owe it to the wretched of the earth to live because otherwise the fascists win.
