How I Deal With Calamity

5326

Washington’s dysfunction. Ukraine and Russia. Palestine and Israel. Global warming. Artificial intelligence.

Sometimes, against my better judgment, I find myself perseverating on this stuff to the detriment of actually living a fulfilling and meaningful life. And that, for me, is a mistake.

I can’t change any of it.

What I can do is treat other people with love and respect. Is that enough? Probably not, but it’s tangible and makes me (and hopefully the people I come in contact with) feel good. In my own small way, I’m trying to make the world better one person at a time.

It’s the only thing I have any control over.
