It’s the war in Ukraine! (Remember that?) It’s deporting protestors! It’s the stock market! It’s the measles outbreak! It’s DOGE! The constant stream of what we are to fear and about which we express outrage is like drinking poison from a fire hose. What is so odd is that so many of us willingly do it.

It is easy to accept the agendas set by others and argue with those who are our friends and family. Some are so captivated that their reality shifts into a world that is strange to their families and those who care about them. It is easy to forget that it is not the storms we see coming that get us. It is the ones we don’t see. The ones we see may do great damage but in time recovery is possible. The ones that we do not see have the capability to truly destroy us.
