I have a message from cousin Max.

“All you can really do is be kind to your loved-ones and be kind to your friends. That is what truly changes the world. The legacy of those acts of kindness.

Of course, you must oppose tyranny and hate. But that is the work. That is your job. Do a good job and put the work in, but when the work day is done, forget about it.

Think instead on perpetrating those acts of kindness. Think about spreading joy.
