In times when sadness, grief, and uncertainty feel overwhelming, even the smallest acts of kindness create ripples.

Like the ripple effect, our empathy spreads strength, comfort, and hope, bridging us together.

Each act of kindness is a light in the darkness, a way to lift someone up, connect, and help resilience grow stronger.

Every kind act brings us closer to a brighter, more compassionate world. 🌅

When longing
finds no anchor

And all that hope
only hurts

Then comes
this awful thought

That life
has been lived in vain so far

If you’re a pragmatic type, who walks through life with little expectations, who takes the good with the bad, never getting too high or too low, then hope is just another emotion. But if you’re a dreamer, one who imagines what life could be, but is not, then hope has an edge that can cut both ways.

“There are two paths people can take when faced with the proliferation and polarization and hatred in their societies. They can dig their trenches deeper, or they can reach across the lines to stop a new cycle of destruction, knowing that solidarity, love, and dialogue are what the strongman most fears."

~ Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present (NY: Norton, 2020)

"In my utopia, human solidarity would be seen not as a fact to be recognized by clearing away 'prejudice' or burrowing down to previously hidden depths, but, rather, as a goal to be achieved. It is to be achieved not by inquiry but by imagination, the imaginative ability to see strange people as fellow sufferers."

~ Richard Rorty, Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1989)

Here's something I've noticed in the build-up to several important elections in recent years:

On social media, hostility, destruction of solidarity, frequently picks up precisely at this time, often with people who claim they're promoting progressive or liberal ideals tearing away at others who are also clearly promoting progressive or liberal ideals.

What's this trolling about, I wonder? Trolling is obviously what it is.

"Solidarity is not discovered by reflection but created. It is created by increasing our sensitivity to the particular details of the pain and humiliation of other, unfamiliar sorts of people. Such increased sensitivity makes it more difficult to marginalize people different from ourselves by thinking, 'They do not feel it as we would,' or 'There must always be suffering, so why not let them suffer?'"

~ Ibid.

I belong to two statewide groups promoting the campaign of Harris-Walz. One is in a state I don't live in, and is a group for Harris-Walz women in that state. I was invited to it by a kind friend as an honorary member.

Solidarity. Reaching across dividing lines. Making the circle bigger.

In both groups, I'm now seeing people complain about how some members suddenly seem intent on attacking each other — on displaying hostility.

This does not surprise me, since I see it happening, too, right here on my Mastodon feed, have seen this pattern in the past as important elections near. The trolls come out from under rocks and go on the attack, and they frequently represent themselves as fellow progressives-liberals who are, they need to let me know, more enlightened and better than I am. And who have a right to treat me with disdain, as the enemy — to treat me with contempt.
