I appreciate the desire to ensure everybody feels as pressed and heavy as we do right now, but the most important thing is to inspire and encourage action, community, togetherness and love. [2/2]

If you have something to say about the moment, try to be mindful of resisting the urge to make folks as anxious as you are. This discourages action rather than inspire it. [1/2]
