    To be honest I’ve been trying to avoid that as well. Impossible to completely stay free of the bombardment of the Official Opinion, but I mostly read local newspapers and skip any opinion pieces on international matters in those too. So I have enough stress knowing there is a war, I don’t need to hear bullshit justifications from any side, and maybe aside from going to demonstrations I can’t do anything to stop it anyway, so I’d rather not blast my brain with power politics I cannot change.

        And I have accepted my lack of power. I can’t even keep my own emotions under control most days, let alone convince anyone else I’m somehow more knowledgeable or wise.

          Look after yourself first and foremost, then if you have extra energy, you can start to help others.
