I wouldn't let issues out of your reach affect your quality of life.
No matter what is going on in the world, you should appreciate the opportunities and journies available to you...
If you turn your back on those because of your concern for the entire planet, then it's a direct insult to all people with less chance for a decent life than you have.

Some people would love to be in a better position like many of us on this forum, and they wouldn't sit around not enjoying life due to worldly issues that are beyond their power to change.

Either make the most of your life, or get up and do something to try and help the situations you're concerned about.

As for god giving us life, im not sure that's a good topic opener considering we all have different views/beliefs...
But some of us, whether by god or not, haven't been given the option to make the most of it.

On the other hand, I do think there's a lot of youth out there who take life as a joke...
When I ask someone how their weekend went and they reply with "got drunk" that doesn't tell me what they did, what fun they had, what things they got upto. That just tells me that they killed off a few brain cells.

That to me is taking life as a joke, when you pass "drinking" off as an explanation to your entire weekend.

Not that im against drinking, I drink myself...but you shouldn't make it your life.
