When I get run down about the state of things, I think about what I actually see, namely people find ways to connect with one another. The word on the street is that divisions are everywhere, with wars and elections highlighting some of our worst qualities. But I have a sneaky suspicion that if you go for a walk you'll see more people trying to help one another than harm.
PS. Unless you are in traffic, then... good luck
