There isn’t much folks see eye to eye on these days, but I’m willing to bet most would agree that 2020 has been a strange year. A slow pressure has been building month after month, fueled by numerous events which have played out in concert. All the while life has slowed. It is said that we are now in the midst of a national mental health crisis. I believe it.
The phrase “may you live in interesting times” may sound like well wishing, but it is typically delivered ironically. In recent months we’ve had the opportunity to learn first hand why it is no blessing at all to live in “interesting” times. The Chinese expression "better to be a dog in times of tranquility than a human in times of chaos” hits the sentiment squarely on the nose.
