Thanks for this essay Tara. I’m a big believer in knowing what you can and cannot affect. Essentially the Serenity Prayer.

So in addition to avoiding hate I think we do have a responsibility to use what energy and resources we have to help others.

So if you cannot affect the course of a war I say it IS better to look toward opportunities where you can make a difference and know it is a positive one.

My knowing details of what’s going on in Ukraine and Gaza and Sudan does nothing positive.
