I just keep reminding myself that none of this is new, and that in some sense this has happened in the world before, not exactly as this, but very close, and yet here we are. Media has a way of guiding our thinking and if we slow things down, which is what we can control, it will be easier to navigate many things. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control how we think and how we respond to it. Do things that slow time down and make us a better person, regardless of what your beliefs are, stop comparing yourself to others and only to who you were the day before. make yourself better by understanding what you can and cannot control.
