We live in emotionally and ethically challenging times. Particularly during political campaigns, it
is easy to forget one of the most fundamental realities of human psychology.
It is impossible to focus on what you hate and what you love
at the same time. Hatred has an
addictive effect, which steals one’s attention and focus from those we
love.
We must set aside time to learn, and make informed decisions
in order to have a functioning democracy.
But please set aside much of your day … much of your attention to the
beauty which surrounds us, those we love, and who love us.
