What gives me comfort is knowing we're not alone. And I don't just mean this in the present time. If you look back, they've been dealing with this nonsense since recorded history (and probably before), even dating back as far as Aristotle. A lot of the struggles we experience are not new. It's new to us but mankind has been through it in some form or fashion over the millennia. I'll leave you with this quote from Mark Twain, “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
