Many of us feel insane right now because our world is not sane. Current events are very much at odds with our natural optimism, and our belief in human goodness and progress.
We find ourselves in a darkening political climate in which corruption, hatred, exclusion, and paranoia are prominent.
Our anxious minds are caught in the dissonance between our belief in progress and our current political hellscape.
Our President is delusional, lying, or ignorant; disastrous climate change and war with North Korea loom; marginalized people in our society are suffering.
In response to our current nightmare, we can wish it were different and stay miserable, or we can accept our new world. To be clear, this does not mean condoning what happened. It simply means coming to terms with what is, and with what we cannot control.
