Maybe ask first "what drives your fear?" instead of assuming that everyone's an asshole. A good entry-point for political discussion.

Find this question living in my head rent-free, "what does a healthy meaning-making looks like?"

When trauma is stored in the body, it's only through the body that it can be released, which is partly unaddressed by traditional talk therapy.

Belief and meaning-making are an inherent part of human nature. That's why religions are here to stay, it will just take in different forms as long as humanity exists.

For some religious people, it's hard to grasp that religious traditions are art and performance in itself. Religious workers are performers and I celebrate that.

There's a reason why some believe that the first art we created is religious in nature because art is inherently transcendental.

People meet and drift apart
We lost and regained
But still, I'd love to keep
My garden safe until it's gone away

One can appreciate life more when one admits the transitory nature of desire. Just like Elphaba singing "I can't want it anymore."

Cynthia def gave justice to that line and now my favorite part of the song in the movie version.

Religion is a form of narrative therapy, and its strength lies in its participatory nature such as the liturgy where people can take part in the ongoing of their respective religions.

Life is a battle for competing narratives, healthy meaning-making is the key in surviving this war.

Hoping that we don't take it for granted that those Sunday worship services that bring us healing and joy are built on our volunteers' sweat, sacrifices, and even sanity. Happy Sunday Everyone!
