It helps me to focus on what I can control and what I can't. I can't make other people "play nice", but I can. Also, I can control how much I expose myself to news about other people being hateful. I'm limiting my exposure to the news. I'm not burying my head in the sand. Am making judicious use of the "off" button.

I’m just out of the hospital. Four days in ICU with no news. No, I can’t get along with, e.g., racists. I don’t subscribe to the idea that I have to respect the opinions of racists or even respect racists, period. I’m guilty of intolerance in that queer sort of way.
I had time to think about my role in this divisiveness. I’m as culpable as anyone. And standing my ground.
