I feel like everything is on a cliff's edge—maybe you feel it too. A slight nudge one way or another, and we tumble.
And I have to ask: who benefits from making us feel this way? Who benefits from the tumble?
Seems to me they might be the same. Seems to me the way to win is not to play.
Outrage at one thing, and the next, and the next, feels like action, but it is in fact nothing. Worse than nothing; it is drinking saltwater. Your unending thirst is how they win.
Pick your project. Do the work. Do not get distracted by the circus. Reaction is not action, and we desperately need action.
