I remember being glued to this tracker for days and weeks 5 years ago. It was like watching a slow moving train in action sweeping from country to country.
Although informative, it did nothing for my well-being. I write this at a time when real-time news cycles have the potential to derail our days completely with little disregard for how it affects us. We seem to have gone back to that era where a firehose was being shot at us, and we were trying to find the needle of good within it.
Sometimes the only option is lower the pressure on the firehose or turn it off and then look for the needle – before it hits you in the face.
