The trick is to accept it enough to not let it eat at you but to still want to change it.

That I agree with. For the most part, but we only have true power over ourselves. You do not have power over other people, and you never will.

This is not true. The power other people have over us that we are calling as "the way the world is" is the ultimate proof.

That’s not from people working together against you. That is a conglomeration of everyone who will always be competing to be on top. There is not some imaginary boogie man making the world this way. It is because of the fact that we cannot control people, and free enterprise and freewill always brings some level of chaos. You can try for Utopia or La la land dreaming. Im a realist. The way it has always been is how it will always be. In perpetual cycles of good vs evil. The ying and yang, baby! Get some!!
