"So here we are. The one thing everyone seems to have in common at the moment is no good answer to the question, what will happen next? How will this all end? The only thing each of us can do is continue to take one day at a time. You focus on your own micro problems and challenges because thinking global is often too painful. You don’t make long-term plans because you have no idea what long-term even means. You have lost that confidence, perhaps not entirely, but a lot of the shine is gone, that the future will be brighter, better. I think a lot of us look directly into a giant question mark, and learning to live with that in this “new normal” is its own kind of challenge."
Well said. For myself, in addition to what was so well said above, is my anger which I measure as being equalled to my angst. I have never been so angry, day after day angry in my life, not at this level of intensity. But, I will exercise some self control and not rant on. I just wanted to tip my hat at your last post.
