Alain De Botton on confinement. We will – one day – recover our freedoms. The world will be ours to roam in once more. But during periods of confinement, aside from the obvious inconveniences, we might come to cherish some of what is granted to us when we lose our customary liberties.

A repost from Alain De Botton, about fragility, gentleness and awareness. Always important, and maybe a little more so during holidays where fragility can be more present and not always easy to detect.

The Blind Men and the Elephant, still so relevant today in relationships, communication, conflict resolution, co- parenting, separation. Perspective and context, try to put the same energy into understanding others as you do in explaining your own.
