If you want to be happy, learn contentment. Don't dwell on what you don't have. Focus on being grateful for what you DO have, and use what you DO have to improve your situation, bit by bit. Maybe you'll never be truly happy, but you can school yourself to be content. "I'm never going to be president or invent a cure for cancer, but that's OK."
As someone who's had far more than the average number of injuries, it really sucks when you get hurt, but it absolutely clears your mind. You know you're in a bad way, and it's always very clear what the next thing you must do to improve your situation is. That girl you were trying to impress when tragedy befell you? Meh. She's just a girl. There are other girls. The important thing is setting that broken bone!
California's collapse was far from sudden. Decades of mismanagement lead inevitably to what we see, now.
As far as managing the forests go, I think the US Dept of Ag and its Forest Service have their fingerprints all over this. By trying to balance the environmentalist wackos and the big corporations, they've ruined it for pretty much everybody everybody, including the environmentalist wackos and the big corporations.
The environmentalists think that humans are not a part of Nature and the corporations just want to exploit Nature. Not all corporations. Mainly the ones who are in thick with the federal government, and manipulating the rule set behind the scenes.
