Let’s take a 10,000 foot view, shall we? There are some bad things going on. We’re all highly stressed out. People haven’t been working, haven’t been doing what they normally do, haven’t been leaving home. People are tired, and frustrated, and angry, and distraught, and overwhelmed, and saddened, and fed up.

We’re working some shit out.

It ain’t pretty. We can all see that, it’s on full display across the Internet.

And I don’t mean to condone anything that has occurred, “good,” or “bad.” I am not devaluing the suffering that has been experienced.

But from 10,000 feet, you start to see that change does not happen overnight after one protest. Or 4 protests, or 5. It takes continued effort, prolonged discussion; it takes time.

From 10,000 feet, it looks like we’re on the right track. This doesn’t mean we can relax. It doesn’t mean this will work itself out. It’s gonna take everything we got. But we’re getting there. We’re trying, in our own monkey way, to make the world better.

And we will. We’ll become better from this. Let’s keep that in mind as we work through our problems. Let’s remember that problems can be solved. Let’s go solve them.
