Everything about this post is beautiful. Thank you so much for putting it together.

A couple thoughts:

stagnation and hoarding of resources motivated by an atavistic survival fear are ruling the hearts and minds of "those who have,"

This also rules the hearts and minds of those who have not.

The most practical thing any of us can do is nurture this ability to remain calm and relatively unaffected by news that is perceived as negative.

That is a rule to live by that I needed to hear today. I hope a lot more people can take that in and stop all the freaking out, both on steem and in the world.
