This piece is funny but points to something important. Being human and caring for other humans is not intuitive. When we demand and receive products that are intuitive and comforting, we may, unbeknownst to ourselves, begin to assume that caring for ourselves and others should be intuitive too, creating painful demands on others and ourselves. We must develop something else — a reminder that life is complicated and confusing, but that we have the strength, and more importantly, the compassion to meet it and listen to it, we’ll probably be alright. It’s when we don’t want to listen and be compassionate and strong because we feel we shouldn’t have to be is when all seems to go wrong.
