I want to know about the things going on in the world, and be an educated participant in society
but psychologically and biologically I can’t live my life to a continuous background chant of “everything is awful, everything is awful, everything is awful,”
and I still don’t really know where the balance is.
I’ve been thinking of this today and wondering if it’ll help me to focus on finding out what people are already doing to help each other whenever I find out about a problem. Charities and activism and so on
That’s the Mr Rogers approach; look for the helpers.
Look for a helper and be the helper someone’s looking for
