I feel completely powerless to do anything significant about the hate and cruelty and sadness that humans can create. And I suspect that it's those feelings that make it difficult for me to feel like I have anything of any value to add here. I think what I feel a need to do instead is smile at as many strangers as I can today, and tomorrow, and the next day. I'll hold doors open and let people get ahead of me in traffic. It's not much and likely will do no lasting good, but geez we all need some kindness.
