I don’t know about you, but I feel totally stressed and overwhelmed. So many tragedies around us, and the level of hatred and violence that is being treated as normal and expected is just … wrong. It all makes me hurt and I have a desire to withdraw. I have talked to many folks who are doing just that, and that is more than disturbing. As we disengage, we are numbing ourselves and stepping back from life. I don’t believe that this is good for us as individuals nor as a nation.
