Man's Inhumanity to Man (and Woman)

[ZenGum]

I want to know what Bruce is going to be when he grows up.

The news can be very upsetting, and in repeated doses, depressing. Most of the things I would say have been said already: these things are probably rarer now than in the past, just more effectively reported; the fact that these things are even being reported means we are on the journey to reducing this kind of thing; each person must find their balance between shielding themselves by not looking, and being aware and outraged so they can be part of the solution. Sometimes you get overwhelmed, so take a few weeks off the news. The cellar will alert you to anything really important.

Happy Birthday.
