Yeah nah I’m being a bit facetious… The whole situation really saps the soul. It’s a complex, multifaceted issue with no simple solutions in sight. It took years to build up the problems we’re facing, it’ll take years to resolve. There will be set backs, probably several in the next X years…

I’m tired, I’m frustrated, I’m utterly bewildered.

Take a beat, lick your wounds, hug your loved ones. After a brief moment to mourn what could have been, we have a lot of work to do. My bet is still on empathy and reason prevailing in the long run. Here’s hoping we get there, one baby step at a time, baby.
