Fellow anarchist (Christian variety), and I hear you friend.

"Never suffer from the dread imposed on you" is a bit of a lofty promise! Oftentimes even with the best aims, somebody feels overwhelmed.

For example, I tried to rile up all my coworkers, and they agreed with me, but didn't want to rock the boat. So nothing changed. And I left, not being able to singlehandedly turn tables on management myself.

I think you can be energized and feel a sense of purpose when you find your way to make positive change in the world absolutely.

But it's still a fight, because everything is stacked against people who want more than just going round and round on the labor/consumption cycle. It doesn't end. The System(TM) doesn't need to sleep or vent its feelings on its path to consumption.

It wears on you after a while.

So my point is, therapy is great for discussing those feelings. But we often hit a brick wall where I was mentally handling things in a constructive, mature, self aware way, but there just wasn't anything to be done because the circumstances just don't stop wearing on you.
