For many years I worked closely with people suffering from various forms of mental illness. I take the people, and their suffering, very seriously. So, I’m not being flippant or humorous when I say that the more I’m reading about the wildly divergent fractures in our culture and nation right now, the more I wonder if the country could be diagnosed as
Politically Ill?
If so, perhaps an international intervention and course of treatment is necessary.
Not to mention how “Religiously Ill” we are. There, I mentioned it.
(add the pandemic to this, and it’s no wonder so many of us are feeling a bit sick right now)
