Normalize it
It would be nice if we lived in an ideal world where everyone and every species got along and lived in harmony. That is not necessarily the world we live in, however. We are a mosaic of choices, freedoms, and opportunities where we can thrive, but in order to do so, we must work together. It is important to remember that even though the status quo can seem a bit routine or slow-moving, it is in living, breathing, enjoying or learning from each moment that we are aware of self, surroundings and what it is to live.
