I’m not even sure how to tackle this issue.

It can feel hopeless to try and live with a heart full of love and gratitude when the rest of the world wants to shit on everything.

You can only ignore people for so long before their disdain for life begins to creep in on you. No matter how big of a buffer you create… no matter how much you’re willing to let go… no matter how strong your sense of calm is…

It always seems to seep in.

Can it be overcome? It takes a lot longer for something positive to attach itself to the mind than something negative because negative things attach instantly.

We do the best we can and I try like hell to not get sucked into it… but maybe I’m not trying hard enough.

We can start by listening to each other without judgement.

That alone might take a lifetime.
