We are being flooded with information and decisions meant to exhaust our emotional reserves. This, I believe, is a strategic tactic so that when the worst of it comes, we’ll have already abandoned our emotional life, and with it our outrage. Appearing stolid and unaffected might seem like resistance. But I need to be clear—stoicism won’t save us. You can feel and not be consumed. Balance. Eyes open.
