I’ve tried justifying my actions as right or wrong, but over time, my justifications reverse their value again and again. Now I try and focus on perspective; everything seems to be good in the end. I try to make the best choice possible, and enjoy the unfolding as much as I can.
Or I could assume the world is malicious, and stress needlessly over every seeming obstacle and every apparent problem. No thanks.

Very well expressed, and I agree with you. Believing that the world is malevolent, with no possibility of your finding fulfilment, is not only illogical, stressing over it is a waste of emotional energy.

sometimes watching events in the world unfold is like being a kid watching a horror movie for the first time and screaming at the screen for the person not to walk into the damn barn. Alas, people are all responsible for their own decisions whether I like them or not.

Sure is. I’ve played both the screamer and the guy who walks into the barn.

Perspective (wisdom) is the distance from an incident to its understanding. Some take more time than others. However the incessant marketing – brand building isn’t always down to the squeaky wheel metaphor. Some days you hit ’em hard, some days you simply share yourself. A full color wheel over time. You know, hard to take even car wrecks seriously if you have one every day…Perspective

Sounds a lot like Marcus Aurelius’ concept of the logos. You should definitely read his book Meditations!
