It’s easy to see the positive environmental effects that staying at home has had. Pollution is decreasing, air quality is improving, animals are seemingly coming out of hiding. All of that stuff is fucking AWESOME, but it might be hard to fully appreciate when your own life has been severely disrupted amidst all of the economic uncertainty. It’s hard for us to see/care about the bigger picture when we feel our basic needs aren’t being met. To that I offer this: if you are alive today, breathing, and have a device upon which to read this article, you’re doing better than you might realize. Uncertainty can be fucking scary, but uncertainty in and of itself isn’t a bad thing. Rather it’s our aversion and fear of uncertainty that causes us suffering.
