> No, actually it’s a time to wake up and be more
> playful. To have our moods less intertwined with the
> evil being done in the world, less tied to the news
> cycle, and more intertwined with the people around us.
>
> It’s a time to bring joy into our everyday lives. We
> should be cooking good foods, playing fun games,
> listening to each other’s struggles and triumphs,
> having great sex, following our dreams, dancing our
> dances, learning new things and enjoying good laughs.
>
> That’s a challenge for many of us who have tied our
> identities and emotions directly to what happens in
> the world. We’re the folks who make the news and
> listen to it - we’re the ones who file the lawsuits,
> who organize the grassroots, who educate the ignorant,
> who lobby the bills, and who fight the election
> battles. That’s excellent, very important work. But
> when the day is done, we’ve got to have something else
> in our lives. Something that we, not some ignorant
> voters and bad people, control.
