I’m in Australia. We’re not any better than the US or Britain though. Sliding to the right, no climate action, concentration of wealth, et cetera. We didn’t just elect Trump, but I fear that time is coming.
I think in these troubled times you just have to focus on the things you can control and practice tolerance and serenity for the rest.
In practice this means investing your time and effort in performing the ideals you want to uphold. Whether that’s saying hello to a neighbor donating to a charity, or regularly volunteering for a cause you care about.
At this point, it’s strong charities and community groups that will mitigate the challenges that will emerge in the coming years.
Fully agreed, and thanks for the constructive thoughts!
