One thing I know be true:

Even when many of us have diametrically opposing views - when some are war-bound, while others are peace-seeking; when some delight in the suffering of political rivals, while others strive for pluralist coexistence - we're all doing the best we can in any given moment, with the social inputs we've been given & the different info silos we consume.

We are all from the same planet, & face the same return to dust.

It's merely the messy middle that causes such despair.
