Darmok On The Ocean's Post

If you will forgive me for being earnest for a moment: I am increasingly convinced that the world desperately needs more radical empathy and kindness.

I had a post drafted about gritty anti-heros and snarky main characters in media. But as I edited it, I realized I maybe meant something else.

Everything in our society encourages us to yell, lash out, be sarcastic, etc. Those are certainly understandable reactions to the escalating crises of the 21st Century. But maybe not the solutions?
