Terrible things, including events we only read or hear about, happen to all of us - directly or vicariously: what we choose to dwell on is a matter of priorities, I would say. The human mind, or mind generally, is far more than the conscious, subconscious and unconscious: it registers all stimuli and is an indivisible whole. We can select what we wish to keep uppermost in our mind, and what we wish to dilute to near nothingness, like a bad dream. These negatives don't go away, they just don't dominate us. The attempt to mitigate or obviate the terrible realities that so many live with, along with true appreciation of what is wonderful and good and in which all should share, is what gives life meaning.
I will read this over - and more carefully, but I agree totally with the idea that any good faith position must start from the absolute conviction that life is a wonderful gift and worth living, and those who make it hateful or meant only for the "select" must be denounced and or scorned and ignored
I love the article. It articulates very gracefully what I have been thinking, and actually have been implementing in my efforts to start a community performing dynamic, Athletes of the Heart Players. It's very challenging and very satisfying. We are performing our first skit at the presentation of my book, Pauli the Ghost. This book aligns with your article’s thesis. Many thanks.

Lyotard whiffs, and Han is going to strike out looking. C'mon, Joe. Trust that Dostoyevsky coaching and step up to the plate. You got this! 💪🏻🩵🌟
