What about cultivating more appreciation of nature and humans as a part of nature?

It can be beautiful to get reminders that appreciating all phases of life can be good. If we as a society can accept more different kinds of people, then there will be more appreciation for all kinds of children and young adults and middle-aged and older adults who offer humanity many different kinds of abilities and backgrounds.

The universe can give us more.

People who have different abilities and and physical limitations still deserve to have good lives, too.

People who suffered from trauma deserve to get the help they need to heal. 

Just because we don't know everything about how to help lots of different kinds of people know doesn't mean the knowledge isn't out there in the universe somewhere.

Hello, good universe.

Even if health problems are stressful sometimes, I'm glad to know that I have moments when I can just take care of myself because I got lots of messages that conflicted with that and I still get them sometimes, but other people have different destinies and it can just be a relief to be reminded that that they need to do whatever they need to do and I need to learn more about how to take care of myself.

Oh, it's nice! ☺️

It's the good, unexpectedly "happy with my life" feeling. 💗 Maybe some energy exercises helped!

Don't you just love the feeling of knowing you don't need to shut down others in order to survive???

"Caroline Williams said that she couldn’t leave the state to get an abortion due to the severity of her cancer. Leaving the state to get an abortion is not an option for many women who have medical emergencies that force them to be in or near a hospital. More care, empathy and understanding need to be given in situations like these."

O the Humanity.

"Ms. Soliman, who lives with several other women and a 7-year-old, said she cannot join them because her mother uses a wheelchair and is unable to travel.

'I simply cannot take her out,' Ms. Soliman said by telephone from her apartment in Jabaliya, which has been shattered by Israeli airstrikes over the past year. 'I cannot leave her either,' she added, 'So we all stayed.'

Her dilemma mirrors that of many civilians in northern Gaza, a part of the enclave that is the subject of mounting international concern and rising casualties. It is not clear how many people have obeyed military orders to evacuate north Gaza but around 400,000 people remain, according to U.N. estimates. Some, including the sick and disabled, cannot leave."

Haha! Okay, that might be more accurate.

"In the long view, it was in about 5 percent of cases that people who had children subsequently became better human beings." 

According to the "Babies wounded by their tax dollars didn't care about the bombs" scale.

I think it's a myth. On the other hand, it probably is true in SOME cases.

"You know what would automatically make you a much better person? If you had a baby."

Really? Not based on a lot of what I've seen.

Not all men benefit from toxic workplaces.

“'It was clear to Maloney that, in order to maintain his position and conduct his job, he was expected to abide by Mt. SAC’s win-at-all-costs culture,' the lawsuit said, 'Including, but not limited to, academic fraud, sexual misconduct, and fraudulent filed forms.'”

The good could trickle down to all kinds of places, like schools, even.

Workplaces are probably going to become more good at being less violent towards girls and women, too, as society continues to make good progress.

It was the era of fruitful learning.

My grandchildren will absolutely be less awful to all kinds of girls and women than the people who surrounded me in that era.

You can help!

Let's help. Our favorite privileged prejudiced male friend deserves the best, which is why he also deserves to look less racist to all of our wonderful future grandchildren. Sounds like a worthy project!
