Feeling appalled?
Shock and dismay at behavior so contrary to our values it feels almost incomprehensible. Appalled means "the world should not work this way."
The unmet need
Restoration of faith in human decency; connection to what is still good; action to oppose or counteract what appalls us.
A question to sit with
What can I do to restore my sense that goodness exists? How can I contribute to the world I want to see?
What to do right now
Do one act of goodness today—volunteer, donate, help someone, or create beauty. Channel your horror into constructive action. Find others working toward the same values.
