Scary times

With everything going on in the world right now, and the US in a state that is simply unprecedented to any of us alive now, these are scary times. We all need to do a few things to help ourselves and others to get through this (which we will do). We need to first have compassion; try to understand that we all have fears. The fears that we have may be the same as someone else's and they may be very different. Be kind. We need to choose knowledge over fear, always. Spread the knowledge, but also, what if we start to spread some positive things too? There is no reason to scare people more than they already are. Finally, for now, share empathy. Try to understand one another, put yourself in their shoes, help where you can, stay quiet when you can.
