"Dying for your country is a patriotic fairy tale. In reality, you will bleed out in the mud like a butchered dog for absolutely nothing." - Ernest Hemingway
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

Half the country thinks Netanyahu should be arrested when he's in US. Only a quarter think he shouldn't. Yet, 100% of anchors on TV think it's an outrageous idea. What a coincidence that everyone in national media is against what Americans think and in favor of what Israel wants.
The genocide of Jewish people called “holocaust”
The genocide of Native Americans called “discovery”
The genocide of Palestinian called “self-defense”
The genocide of Lebanese called “security threat”
Language matters. A genocide is unjustifiable wherever happens. Never again
