That's in part because our beliefs about it not only help make the world what it is, but make us who we are.
No single overarching theory of truth can encompass everything we would wish from such a theory, and indeed truth is never finally known; but that does not in any way invalidate the attempt.

Generosity will break your heart. It will heal your Love threshold. You will realize that everybody needs your love. You don’t have to love everybody. That’s too hard; don’t start there. Just begin to notice how much everyone needs and wants to be loved. Let it soften and open your heart.
The point is to try and step outside of your existing framework for thinking about how you approach (some set of) things, and to perceive how your past experience and existing worldview influences your expectations of how things will go, and how those expectations would then influence the outcome. It can be helpful to do thought experiments where y

[This is] a kind of solicitude which does not so much leap in for the Other as leap ahead of him... not in order to take away his 'care' but rather to give it back to him authentically as such for the first time. This kind of solicitude pertains essentially to authentic care-that is, to the existence of the Other, not to a "what" with which he is concerned; it helps the Other to become transparent to himself in his care and to become free for it.
Rather than hoping things are better in the future, what if life could be meaningful and purposeful now, by living in line with what matters most to you? You still get to strive towards change and achievement with all your strength, but you are not waiting for a meaningful life, you already have it.
Life is not going to turn out in future. That is hope as a defense mechanism. Life is brimming infinite possibility right now in this moment because it’s empty and meaningless. And it’s empty and meaningless that it’s empty and meaningless.
Our difficult situations become more hopeful if we recognize that events are never only what is explicitly formed. If we deal with events as having very many more possibili- ties, and if we understand that the possibilities can emerge only gradually as actual events bring new implying, then we may find a few steps that now begin something new.
