Everywhere I look I see people doing their best to make sense of this overwhelming reality, and to be kind, authentic human beings despite the many invitations we all receive to be phony, unkind assholes. Sometimes their best doesn\u2019t look like much to me, and I remind myself that my best doesn\u2019t look like much a lot of the time, too. I empathize. We\u2019re all human, and we\u2019re all struggling. Every single one of us, every single day. It\u2019s not my job to police the paths of others, not when it takes so much effort to light my own.<\/p>\n
