Quote of the Day -- Paul Smalera
Realize that we live in an era
where news rockets around the globe in seconds, and bad news in
particular comes with social media booster rockets. Yes, there are big,
scary things, like the prospect of accidental nuclear war, that could
wipe us out. But it’s no one’s moral obligation to martyr their
emotional well-being in order to be plugged into the minute-by-minute
developments of the goings-on of nearly 8 billion people. We can’t have
empathy for the plight of our neighbors if we don’t first have empathy
for ourselves.
