One year ago today, I got a positive COVID-19 test result and was scared for my own health. I remember the anxiety I felt when going to bed, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Now, I'm feeling anxious about the future of democracy in this country.
I am a real seeker after truth. I must strive to always seek the whole, real truth in everything I do. In politics it is no different. Tonight I am thinking about what I can possibly do, as an ordinary concerned citizen, to help the Democratic party keep the majority in both houses of Congress during the midterms. It's a tall order. But it's an impact I genuinely want to have.
It reminds me of the other arena where I dearly want to have a major impact: science. Sometimes I feel like I approach my research with the wrong mentality: like it's something I have to do. I psych myself out with it. But I need to approach it like it's something I want to do, because I am a seeker after real truth who wants to help other people. I must let that guide everything I do.
