Should I still Walk my Path During this Chaos?
Since the present is the only time that is truly real, now is the time to walk my path. But not without certain considerations.
It feels like the world is going mad.
There is a pandemic that has not disappeared, despite other stuff happening. The protests against injustice and police brutality are a valid reaction to the number of black people being killed over nothing — especially when white people never face the same threats for equal or greater crimes.
Don’t even get me started on politics, taxes, greedy business practices, and the other insanities of the world today. It takes very little for me to start feeling down, hopeless, angry, fearful, and lots of other negative emotions.
In the face of all of this, it feels like continuing to take action to walk my path is selfish. How can I go after things to improve my life when there is so much shit happening in the world today?
The better question, however, is — how can I not? The path I am walking for my life is not selfish, greedy, or destructive. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Thus, to walk my path in the middle of all this is part of how I can help to do something about it.
