we can try to wake people up. we can talk about all the injustices. But we need to be prepared to be told that we are doomsayers, that we are interfering, that we are antisemites, that we are obsessed with Gaza (or whatever), that we create the problems ourselves just by thinking about them. And then we can look at the squirrels or our dogs or our cats or the birds flying by our windows and know that there is beauty and peace out there. And be thankful for that.

Imagine what they'd have called you if you lived in Mississippi in 1840 and went around saying the slaves should be freed.
