WilliamLMiller<p>Weltschmerz is the word that seems to strongly complement the current moment for me. It comes from German and is a compound word of Welt meaning world and schmerz meaning pain, mental suffering, grief. Weltschmerz is felt when you see suffering in the world that everyone would do better without. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weltschmerz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weltschmerz</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tariffsaretaxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffsaretaxes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/endthesiege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>endthesiege</span></a></p>
