Grieving for our lost future before it’s determined strikes me as highly unwise.
But on the other hand, it seems unwise to hold onto (and especially to blind yourself with) a cope that everything will be all right, when there’s mounting evidence that actually the situation is doomed, and you can’t see a way out.
I’m not sure what stance is healthy or best, when your best guess is that all is on track to be destroyed, though importantly not yet lost. It seems like grieving the future you believed in might be part of that.
Technically it’s a maybe. But my best guess is that this is mistaken. If you’re in WWII, you don’t want to grieve the loss of the world where you’ve defeated the Nazis. That saps your will to fight. Grief is for when hope is in fact lost. IMO.
