I don’t normally comment on soft stuff such as mere human feelings but David Brooks really nailed today in the New York Times. See it here. The punchline: “This is a time to practice aggressive friendship–to be the one who seeks out the lonely and the troubled. It’s also true that character is formed in times like this. People see deeper into themselves, bravely learn what their pain is teaching them, and become wiser and softer as a result.” Amen, brother.
