As you look around at the world today, hope feels increasingly fragile. The lines between right and wrong blur ever more, and the voices of dissent grow louder with each passing day.

In the face of such uncertainty, it would be easy to give in to despair. To retreat into the safety of silence and apathy, letting others dictate the course of your life and your country. Maybe you should. It would probably be nice to take a breather and stop focusing on things you cannot control, but wish you could because you feel so powerless.
