It is so easy to stop connnecting with the community around us in favour of bearing the weight of the world including the environmental crisis. Medicine has perplexed me lately as eastern traditional clashes with the western big pharma folklore vs science narrative. It will be a little from each to get it right.
I find a soljtion is to grab a manageable drinking vessel and just sip from the firehose and not to drink it all at once. Focus on what we can control and pour efforts back into people within a couple miles of us. Amazing how that helps perspective, and brings you back to satisfying results.
