Whatever happens is going to happen. Can you stop it? For the most part, no. It does no good to worry yourself into an ulcer.

I feel like we have to have more income and life-quality equity in the world.

Saying this, I don't really believe that the world is going to go to pot any time soon.

In my life, I've known many people who have predicted "doomsday." From at least the 1970s. "Doomsday" hasn't come yet---and I don't anticipate that it will.

We should do something about the effects of climate change, though.

Or even if nothing physically destroying at least 80% of us, more authoritarianism perhaps to the point where we'd want to die. :D

Yeah, Gee is completely right. I have heard this a lot from people too, and it's not helping.

I hate to admit it, but I wish I could be around his advanced age right now at this moment so I didn't have to worry as much about it and have already lived a long, great life.

Some days I want to die and some days I fear death more than anything in the world. :(

Don't worry overmuch about it! Going to sleep now, my dog is sleeping peacefully in his basket next to me as I'm at my mom for a night or two.

Luckily there is a lot to live for: e g animals and other creatures that we love, family, beautiful things, nature, learning and exploring new things, to name a few.

I don't really care about it that much either.
Nothing I can do about it, why worry?

I'll make damn sure I vote before the next election in my country. Might not do much but it's a start.

Stop worrying about things you cannot control and start focusing on things you can control:

I won't have the money to afford that.

I'm not so much worried about the world ending as I am another major world war that's going to happen that will cause many many people to suffer. It's going to get ugly.

And I worry that I will get drafted. I am registered for the selective services. I won't make it if I get drafted. I can feel it.
