Starting a blog brings the challenge of figuring out where to start. The most recent things that happened, seems like a good starting point: Someone responded to something I said about making efforts to contribute to change in society. The person focused on putting all one’s effort into making societal change. I disagreed. Knowing how easily a person can ‘run out of steam’ leads me to advocate for taking care of oneself ahead of expending all energies on large/societal issues. A wise man once told me, in order to have a strong front, a person needs a strong backbone (i.e., having stability for oneself is essential in doing anything big or small).”
