In a world where social media has become a powerful platform for expressing our thoughts and emotions, a recent tweet by Tim Grierson has gone viral, resonating deeply with many individuals. The image circulating online features a minimalist design with a simple, yet powerful message.

At the top of the image, a text in quotation marks reads, "Siri, describe 2024 in one tweet please." Below this, a screenshot of Tim Grierson's tweet is displayed. His tweet poignantly states, "Being angry all the time is exhausting and corrosive. Not being angry feels mo***** irresponsible." This tweet has struck a chord with people of all ages, particularly those feeling the weight of the current socio-political climate.

User comments on the post reveal a widespread sense of exhaustion and frustration. One user reflects, "I'm 50ish, and this is basically what I was saying to my wife that I think younger people are experiencing. What you end up figuring out is that being angry about stuff you can't control isn't good for you or anyone else, but focusing that energy on doing what positive things you can do does a lot for both of these feelings." This perspective highlights the importance of channeling energy into positive actions rather than dwelling on anger.

Another user simply states, "Damn, this is me," while others echo similar sentiments with comments like "same-same +1" and "Yup that's me ha." These reactions underscore the relatability of Grierson's words, as many people grapple with similar emotions.

The political landscape also plays a significant role in the exhaustion felt by many. One user shares, "I've almost been doing a bucket list this year because I'm not sure how America will look after the election. I'm naively hopeful but realistically pessimistic." Another user adds, "The GOP wants to exhaust you. They want to tire you out. Be it with working 3 jobs, or with constant media bombardment. They want you to be too tired, to understand what is happening. You need to learn to filter out all the BS and start to understand the important parts. Vote all of these terrorists out of office, or you have Russia level living. Where the uber rich live even more like kings, while the rest slums in poverty and crime."

The image and its accompanying tweet by Tim Grierson serve as a poignant reminder of the emotional toll that constant anger and frustration can take. As one user wisely suggests, "give up on being angry and just focus your energy on making whatever positive changes you can."

In these challenging times, Grierson's tweet encapsulates the collective exhaustion felt by many, while also highlighting the importance of finding a balance between staying informed and maintaining one's mental well-being.

I’ve almost been doing a bucket list this year because I’m not sure how America will look after the election. I’m naively hopeful but realistically pessimistic.

That is their gameplan, for people that still didn't see it. The GOP wants to exhaust you. They want to tire you out. Be it with working 3 jobs, or with constant media bombardment. They want you to be too tired, to understand what is happening. You need to learn to filter out all the BS and start to understand the important parts. Vote all of these terrorist out of office, or you have Russia level living. Where the uber rich live even more like kings, while the rest slums in poverty and crime.

it may just be my definition of morality but I can't see feelings as moral in any direction? I'll hold myself accountable for my actions but putting morality on feelings is something I'm still trying to heal from
