Reflection for a new year
  • We mistake what is manageable for a catastrophe;
  • we despair of ourselves too soon;
  • we alienate others by overreacting;
  • we don’t notice and appreciate what there is still to be grateful for;
  • we forget we’re going to die and that a lot of today’s headache will soon be forgotten.
