How is anyone supposed to witness and look at these images and what is being streamed to our phones and to mostly to our phones, sometimes the televisions, and feel like we can possibly experience well-being?
And we can't, right?
We can't in the same way because what we're witnessing is profound suffering on a scale that's frankly almost incomprehensible.
And I think that
To me, that's what real well-being is about, is about saying there are people out there who are suffering, and I am going to choose to bear witness to their pain, to try and show up and help in the ways that I can, and to acknowledge that, yes, my happiness is dependent upon their liberation and their freedom and their self-determination and their ability to be well and healthy and happy.
I don't think there's any contradiction there, to be honest.
And I think that the more that we deny that, the more that we say, oh, I'm just going to close my mind and my eyes to all of the tragedies that are happening and try and be happy alone in my little individualistic bubble.
I think that that's a delusion, right?
To be frank.
So I'm not really answering your question, but I just wanted to say that because I think it's a really important distinction here.
I agree completely.
I think that's really wise.
And I also think, again, you or the people most affected by this, the people who have been directly harmed by conflicts like these.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen the model of circles of concern where if something bad happens to somebody, then there are these circles around them of the people closest to them.
And it basically branches out until eventually you get to their acquaintances.
So I often think about that in the context of suffering.
And so there are people in Gaza who are at the center of the circle right now, right?
They're the ones who are the most deeply suffering.
And then there are the people who are related to them and connected to them and a part of their community and a part of their country.
And then there are these expanding circles outwards of care.
