WHAT CAN I MYSELF DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER WORLD?
The situation Gaza/Israel is horrific. It is also extremely complex. There are many layers, "sides," perspectives.
Taking sides on social media, attacking and insulting one another, perpetuates division when unity is the only way out. Recognizing the horror and complexity of it all, recognizing that no human mind can actually hold and comprehend the totality of what's unfolding, not only on the Gaza/Israel front but also globally, helps to step back and gain objectivity.
Listen to people of integrity and independent thinking, those who have deeper knowledge and understanding, those who express themselves with intelligence and civility, those who spread knowledge for the highest good of all. There is a lot to be learned.
What matters, I believe, is to strive to keep a clear mind and determine "what can I, myself, do, given my circumstances, to contribute to a better world? In small ways or in big ways." The answer will be unique to each person.
Follow your gut. Stay aware.
