In Kierkegaard's Works of Love, he explains that, much like how prayer is meant to change the heart of the one who prays, the task of love is not to find someone worthy of love, but to build the capacity for it in oneself
If the world gets darker and dumber, and your response is to match it, to curse at it, to become obsessed with how right you are about how bad it is, you’ve already handed over the one thing it wanted from you. you don't protect your sanity by fighting the madness. you protect it by refusing to let it have your mornings, your sundays, the way you sit with a friend saying nothing. the world does not need your opinion about how lost it is. it knows. what it needs is somebody still saying grace before a meal while the kitchen burns
Nobody speaks bird so you can translate birdsongs as you please. You could be walking along with some unknowing bozo, a bird could twee-weet and you could say “the bird said you’re beautiful” or “the bird thinks we look great together”. That dunce can’t dispute it
Every man that tries to figure out the world entirely on his own ends up building a small, stupid god to replace the one he rejected. it never fails. he drops God, picks up science or stoicism or some guy on the internet who read enough books to pass for a prophet, and within six months he's talking about cold showers and circadian rhythms with the same exact tone a priest uses on sunday. the need to worship doesn't go anywhere just because you decided you're too smart for it. it just finds smaller things to attach to, and smaller gods make smaller people. nobody quits God. they trade down.
Real power is unfamiliar to most people because they are programmed by the notion of material power in the form of money and influence.

Real power is choosing an open heart instead.
