I try to remind myself that, in the great scheme of things (i.e, evolution) a “step forward, two steps back” is a common thing in this chaotic universe of ours.

Meteors, dinosaurs, civil wars, capitalism issues, pandemics, murder, genocide… it’s all accounted for.

Of course, the answer is different if you are suffering directly from these things (apart from the meteors and dinosaurs) I mentioned above, then things get suddenly VERY personal and impulsive.
