Yes indeed - we must cultivate this sense of connection, because it also creates a sense of responsibility and accountability - to the extent that, I must refrain from self-harm of lack of self care (so good nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc) all the way up to the more obvious forms of self-harm.

Some sensitive souls can even feel kind of guilty that they have food while others around the world do not- but I aim to hold tight to the feeling that my self-care, I can show up, in better condition, to resist the forces of dehumanisation.

So on that note I am not going to push myself to stay awake any longer !
