And when I'm really in despair is probably some of the best times to go out and see community work, either in the United States or in another country.
When you see people helping one another and you see people saying, you know what, I can make sure this kid gets on this path, or I'm going to tutor that kid, or I'm going to show up and serve in the food line on a cold day, right?

I mean, there are a million ways to help.
