Being a grownup is kinda overrated.
Some things are worth getting mad about. Racism, homophobia, poverty, environmental destruction, etc. Some things are just made up by people so they can joust windmills because they need a scapegoat to place their fears. Fake rage as they call it can be harmful to real people. I worry about people who are put in harm’s way because of bad bills being put into law that come from a very bad place. So many more things are worth getting upset about like child abuse by people in authority. Life is hard enough without some people making it even more difficult. I hope people can learn to chill and put their anger in a better place.
Elevators (or lifts in some places) are like people. Sometimes they lift you up and sometimes they let you down. Funny how that works.
Being in a community means different things to different people. Whether it be in-person or virtually having connections hopefully can create a bond that can convey respect and love. Barbara Streisand sang “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world” and I tend to agree with that. Of course, boundaries are essential for healthy connections and community.
You create a society in schools, libraries, retail shops, work, museums, sports, houses of worship, and other spaces. Of course, online communities can transcend time and space. Many online communities came about from the Coronavirus pandemic. In any case, it requires being intentional about making communities work and thrive.
I hope I am the best person I can be no matter what community/group I find connections in. Hopefully, building connections can make us all better people.
The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.
