What we desire makes us vulnerable. - Ryan Holiday

And that’s what is so insidious about talk. Anyone can talk about himself or herself. Even a child knows how to gossip and chatter. Most people are decent at hype and sales. So what is scarce and rare? Silence. The ability to deliberately keep yourself out of the conversation and subsist without its validation. Silence is the respite of the confident and the strong.

In Times of Crisis We Need More:

- Compassion
- Kinship
- Service
- Courage

And Less:

- Selfishness
- Distrust
- Ingratitude
- Dread

Think progress, not perfection.
