To be active citizens worthy of our mandate, we need to not just react to the things in front of us but to find the time to reflect and question our own place in the story
It’s the feelings of doom and feeling not being able to do anything to positively change how we live that is harmful.
We all need reminding , me included, that we so have agency, that we can do things to change our personal lives and help change our society and environment too.
it won’t be easy and it won’t be perfect and it won’t be much but it is something
first thing is to stop thinking we can do nothing, next is see what we want done, and then stop fighting and start fining things to agree on and to work on together.
but no fighting, we need tolerance of imperfection to work together
