Once more unto the breach

Well, folks, here we are; a quarter of the way into the 21st Century. A few kinetic wars; a lot of cyber wars; various heated border disputes and humanitarian crises. Plus a new administration fixing to take over the reins of the greatest power on Earth.

Look—most of us can’t do much to directly affect the above, but we can change the world one kindness at a time. We can make someone’s day nicer or less crappy, and usually at no palpable cost to ourselves.

I’m not handing out advice to anyone else here. Just using the editorial “we” to remind myself that I—like everyone—have the superpower of empathy, and I can use it for good.

See how long I make it into 2025 with this one.
