What lies in the water? What lurks deep in the forest? What awaits us over the next mountain? What hides within us?
The unknown is perhaps our greatest fear. Knowledge shines a light into the dark recesses of the unknown. But light alone isn’t enough. We must study and learn what we are up against. Only then can we prepare a plan to deal with whatever we find… or in many cases… that which finds us.
It is becoming harder and harder every day to know what is real and what isn’t.
Science shines a light on darkness and ignorance.
Of course, the flip side is that our imaginations can also lead us astray when we don’t look for the facts.
Disasters, lies, and misinformation will always be with us. Unfortunately, that’s life. What makes the difference is how we face it, how we help each other, and how we build resiliency into our societies. And our societies include everyone.
I have heard over and over again people saying we will get through this. And we will. But only if we work together.
Anyway, just some things to think about.
Wishing you the best in these trying times.
Stay safe, follow the experts, look out for one another.
