Dr. Robert Waldinger

When I look at what is falling apart, I am really scared.

And the problem is that in my country, they're going after everything that I hold dear.

So they're going after being kind to people.

They're like grabbing people off the street.

And doing horrible things, right?

They're going after science, which I've devoted my life to, right?

And saying science doesn't matter, right?

They're going after healthcare and spreading misinformation.

So there's such big things in my life that to watch these under attack has made me...

despair until I get up out of my chair and I go do something about it.

So I'm going to protests and I'm signing petitions.

Because the goal is to not cooperate with things that we see that are wrong.

Yeah.

Because we, you know, myself included, everybody I know is we're sort of deer in the headlights initially.

And then we have to stop being deer in the headlights and we have to go do something about it.

This was really fun.

In your work.

Can I add a new one?

100%.

Okay, it's from one of my Zen teachers.
