This is a great piece - compassionate yet practical in holding people accountable for the things they can control.

The plandemic messed with many people...on many levels. Much like you, I felt that even those who may make mistakes must be treated with both respect and accountability (it's a sh!t show out there...still)!

To Quote 50 Cent:

“Death’s gotta be easy,

Cuz life is hard

It’ll leave you Physically Mentally and Emotionally Scarred”

Good Piece. Gang Gang.

Really good ❤️ We are all just trying, sometimes not our best, sometimes

the big heavy thumb is too heavy. Too much for any one man to hold.

Loved reading this piece. The unemployment rate and the way you unfurled the story. My heart goes out to the exhausted UPS guy.

To be compassionate is to carry a lot of hope.

Reminds me of a poet named Diksha Bijlani when I read these words last year, - "In these times, better is just another word for quiet......To cope with death we learn to expect it."

The idea of collective giref.

That's beautiful, Pranjal. Compassion definitely requires hope. I'm not so naive to think this is a solution, but I know holding each other accountable with love works in my world.
