Our Relationship with Sadness Runs Deeper Than We Realize
We come into this world with the capacity for sadness as part of our human nature, but finding joy requires conscious effort and dedication and learning to find how to co-exist with sadness.

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news.
This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them.
Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

2025 is a year where we need to stop amplifying those whose brutality and bigotry is also their living - as Eve Kosofsky Sedwick wrote - we spend too much time identify poison and not enough time seeking nourishment - our reaction to those who hate for profit rewards them

Through this lens of hope, we can better recognize that obstacles, while significant and sometimes daunting in the moment, are not permanent fixtures in our life's landscape but rather meaningful stepping stones that guide us toward personal growth and deeper understanding.
