If you are in a difficult situation, a low mood, if you are afraid of other people and of yourself, if you are tormented, then tell yourself: “I will love everyone whom I meet in this life.” Try to follow this rule; and you will see that everything will find its way, and everything will seem simple, and you will no longer have doubts or fears.

it teaches men not to admit their ache, like the pain of an amputee, for the lost parts of themselves.
I Don't Want to Talk About It
Terrence Real
The chaos that defined the Trump administration came at a time when the US-China relationship was already entering a particularly unforgiving period. When the Trump administration unexpectedly came to power, US-China relations were at the center of three tectonic trends: the rise of nationalism and popul ism due to the unequal distribution of benefits from globalization; the rise of emerging and foundational technologies that have altered both daily life and the way governments, companies, and people interact; and the fraying of a world order that was built for an era when the United States was the only superpower and the spread of democracy everywhere seemed inevitable. Over the course of Trump’s presidency, awareness inside the US government and around the country steadily grew that China’s rise and the Chinese government’s strategy play into all three of those dynamics. Put simply, a China that is militarily expansionist, economically aggressive, internally repressive, and increasingly interfering in democratic societies poses enormous challenges for the United States along with all of our allies, friends, and partners. The effects are already being seen in our national security, our investments, our industries, our schools, our media, and even our elections.
