I’m about to start the Be the Change course and I’m worried what it will do to me.
There are so many things I want to change about the world and I feel as someone with values that this is important. I scroll through social media and I see the videos of violence and the confusion out there. It makes me feel sick and anxious and often I can’t sleep for worrying about the state of the world - especially if I have listened to the news late at night. I am worried that you are just going to say well stop scrolling social media, stop listening to the news. I know that will make me feel better but in a way I don’t want to feel better. Why should I feel peaceful when people are suffering? If I stop looking at these feeds then I worry I’ll end up just end up in some sort of removed bubble, not in touch with reality. So I guess my question is how can I stay in touch with what is going on but still stay in this conversation?
