I'm focusing on the portraits of failure this week and also, though I'm not on social media, the fact that the majority of the people in my orbit do seem to be on the other side of the fence from me on most major issues and I have a great opportunity here.

The idea that humans can be perfect if we just work hard enough is so noxious, so anathema to contentment on this planet and to truly being able to love one another and have healthy relationships and families and communities. I am glad you addressed it here.
