The world’s healing progresses much more slowly than the individual’s. We have hundreds of years of colonialism and ecological devastation to heal from and that shit won’t happen overnight. You are part of the world and your healing makes the world better. Focus on what you can do and do that. Trying to take responsibility for the whole mess will destroy you, it’s out of your hands.
Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene
The Earth is huge and doesn’t really care about us. We disappear, in a hundred years nothing’s left except some exotic isotopes in a thin geological layer.
You don’t heal the earth. It’s like meditation, you don’t force the mindset, the mindset comes to you and you can’t control it, but you can learn to respect it for what it is.

Okay but if it could move in vaguely the same direction as me that would be great.

Looked outside? Not a question. Need a bone saw if we want to heal.
This was beautifully stated. Thank you for your wholesome response, VampirePenguin.
I genuinely believe there is 0 chance we will ever heal the earth. Collapse of Earths natural systems seem inevitable.
