It can be so exhausting to give a damn, can't it? It is my personal and professional experience that when we passionately give a damn, we often pay a steep price for caring.

But remember, you can't do anything for anyone else indefinitely if you don't practice self-care.

I have been a passionate activist for almost 50 years on global, political, and societal issues, to name a few, and i have burned out at least three times. But i recovered, and carried on, only differently.

So if you care about what is happening in our world, and are stressed because you care, read this Open Letter to Those Who Still Give a Damn from John Pavlovitz
