Everything feels like it's getting worse all the time. Nevertheless, life goes on.
What is there to do? No thoughts or prayers to a dead god will help anyone. In the US, the best we can do is urge non-action from our leaders -- all we can do is hope that somehow, miraculously, our nation does not use this as an opportunity to funnel resources to fascists.
I hope for peace. No war but class war.
What can we do? We must live our lives. Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya. We shall live through the long procession of days before us, and through the long evenings; we shall patiently bear the trials that fate imposes on us; we shall work for others without rest, both now and when we are old; and when our last hour comes we shall meet it humbly, and there, beyond the grave, we shall say that we have suffered and wept, that our life was bitter, and God will have pity on us. Ah, then dear, dear Uncle, you and I shall see that bright and beautiful life; we shall rejoice and look back upon our sorrow here; a tender smile -- and -- we shall rest.
