One of the “ultimate questions” humans like to pose is this: Why are we here?
This might seem to be a particularly appropriate question to ask in a time of the coronavirus plague when so much is becoming uprooted, when so many are afraid and suffering and dying.
I'm a politically blue kind of guy living in a very red state. My religious convictions tell me that I have to try to work at getting laws that treat everyone with love. I've always tried, but the last few years it's been crazy hard and I'm wearing out. Any suggestions?
Hi Jeff,
You ask a question that resonates with something I think many of us are feeling: resistance fatigue. Spiritually, it is important that we continue to work towards a world that has more mercy, empathy, hospitality, and love. The reality is that when so many powerful folks are working in the opposite direction, it really can wear you down – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. So, good self care is important. This list is certainly not complete, but it's not a bad place to start.
