During bouts of sleeplessness or idle times, one scans through social media groups to pass the time.
And invariably one inherits the feelings of helplessness and depression.
For what we read are mostly a litany of the things that are observed as being wrong, most everywhere our heads are turned.
Do we need to be constantly and incessantly reminded?
Do we really need to know all the wrinkles we can observe in and around our surroundings?
Isn’t it sufficient especially after all these times to keep those in mind and accept them as there?
But then start unobtrusively doing whatever little things we may be able to do both individually and collectively.
In our lifetime and beyond, most of these things observed will still be with us.
There is nothing humanly possible to remove all of them.
As one problem is resolved, another one pops up. Life is meant to be like this.
So judge rather the efforts expended than the problems solved.
There is no going around that.
Much like we are admonished, lighting that solitary candle rather than loudly cursing the darkness may be more cleansing.
