Grim but true. These days a lot of people are actually practicing emotional avoidance and calling it a positive mindset. Times are tough and watching our society unravel can be disconcerting. Facing hard truths head on can bring clarity and it can also bring a rush of emotions like rage and grief to any decent person with empathy and critical thinking skills. As a realist, I have ways of coping and chief among them is preparing for worst outcomes and preparing to leave. This is how I stay calm and maintain a sense of peace. Even though it's exhausting, it's better to know and prep. Every day just gives me more reasons to hate it here with the Cornell case just being the latest. This country and this society just hates women.
