So, when people ask me for one thing they can do to bring about a more positive future, I suggest they seek out stories of real change that are happening right now. I’m talking about local food projects, renewable energy projects and neighbourhoods coming together to create their own solutions.

So your bitter sarcasm suggests that a person can't be simultaneously hopeful and actively struggling, that you must always be immersed in your own local suffering and ignore the success of others as false hopes, that we must universalize our own experiences, and that an emotionally complex life is not possible?

Sounds like a response from a place of relative emotional ease, friend, but thanks for the drive-by judgment. Always constructive.
