Miriam,
In my later life I've been able to step back from feeling that I
should be doing something when there is nothing I can do.
My sense of curiosity holds my attention, but I don't feel either
helpless or responsible. Sure, I do what I can do, mostly in the area
of work with the blind, and seniors
. Even knowing that my efforts won't make a difference, and what I
have done will be undone a dozen times over, nonetheless, I do what I
can for the personal benefit.

stuff which depresses the hell out of me. It would be better, perhaps, if I
didn't care what happens to humankind and trees and butterflies and lilac
bushes and kittens.

Yes well, Adam Schiff began the hearings the other day with a
statement that Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014 when the fact is that
the US supported and encouraged a coup in Ukraine overthrowing a
legally elected leader and installing a government chosen by US
officials and including Nazi supporters. All of it is disgusting and
makes me furious and ill!
