A Disaster a Day Saps the Courage I say
Do we have more disasters today and is it going to get worse? Shootings, hurricanes, train derailments, food shortages, pandemics, imagined pandemics. I wouldn’t fault you for wanting to stay in bed for a month or two. What do you do or even think in the middle of these dark times and stories?
One of the first things we do is to ask ourselves is it really that bad out there. It just might be. This is a moving target in a target rich environment with a seemingly inexhaustible source of targets. I mean, bad news is everywhere. Just turn your tv on, or check any of your social media sources or even listen to some of your neighbors. A lot of dark stuff available for you to consume.
The big question at this point, “Do I have to consume this fodder every day, or is there a better way of staying connected with the world?”
Do you even want to be connected? I think so, but it can be tough out there. Hang in there and chase the light for now, it tends to turn off the darkness.
