I’m still depressed about the state of politics and the state of humanity and the state of human communication and the state of human mutual understanding. I’m letting it all get to me too much.

Animosity and intolerance and prejudice and prejudgment are all part of the human condition, along with love and joy and solidarity. I don’t know why I should expect any of this to change.

I should probably disengage. I know I won’t, because I’m such a politics junkie and love clicking on website X or Y all the time to see the latest news. But I should at least try. Or if I can’t disengage, I should at least stop trying to expect perfection from us human beings and accept the messiness of the world.
