Choosing reflection in difficult times can be useful for reassessing the status quo. However, it's important to acknowledge that our emotional responses, whether frustration, disappointment, or even anger, are not obstacles while reflecting but integral parts of the process.

Even though we can't change everything, everywhere, all at once, we can co-create fairness through awareness by thinking things through.
