If I were to begin each day reading the New York Times, which is what I do, the day would begin with my feeling rather lot of concern for the world.
However….
Today, near the start of the day, a friend and I plan to meet for what I anticipate will be an emotionally challenging conversation. Neither of us need to meet. The fact that such an impulse can exist, for people to feel that difficult conversations are important and useful and may make their world a better place, is remarkable. Why would such an idea even exist in the universe if there wasn’t some deep pull towards togetherness and an awareness that we all exist best by coexisting peacefully.
Evidence of a friendly universe: conversation.
