Good morning, CoSo.
Merry Christmas.

It's another hard one for the world. Last year, in my newsletter, I framed it around Zelenskyy's speech in the first year of Russia's war in Ukraine.

Today, for OnlySky, I turn to an essay by Simone Weil, writing in the winter of 1942 on how the fight for personhood through political collectives had failed our shared humanity.

What matters, truly, to the human condition?
Our ability to suffer.

Can we ever build a politics to match?
