As if living in America wasn't devastating enough these days, hearing the news of what goes on in my
country of origin, Israel, has been tearing my heart apart.
The freelancers, the artists, the small business owners, the dreamers, and the creatives there, have not been receiving adequate financial help from the Israeli government through this difficult time.
Shutting down for FOUR MONTHS (and counting) without proper help!?
Hundreds of thousands (in a country of only 9 millions) are hungry, on the brink of losing their homes, their livelihood. Their dreams are all shattered. Their world is turned upside down.
It's aggravating seeing and hearing the despair in their words, in their cries, in their marches. 
They're desperate. They're gutted. They're feeling abandoned by the country they used to love.

Despair.
'Tis the absence of hope.
How do you turn around such a despair-filled sentiment like...despair? 

I don't have the answer. Do you?

In my own life, I tend to drift away feelings of despair as fast as I see it. As a devoted optimist - despair is one of the most uncomfortable human feelings for me to experience.
Yes, I know, it's a privilege to be optimistic. But I also have the gift (and curse) of being an empath.
And I have been feeling loads of empathy for the countless of people in their desperate plea for help right now.  I cry with them. I feel their rage. I go to sleep thinking of their pain. Of OUR pain. And I don't know what to do. I am helpless about it. Optimistic, but helpless. 

How do you bring about hope in a hopeless situation?

I don't have the answer. Do you?

    In April 2020, while experiencing  her first ever global pandemic, Tamar Pelzig  pledged to write something every day, even if it's only a word, so she welcomed to the world a daily blog to keep her creative writing wheels rolling.

    What evolved is a collection of short stories, poems, life lessons, blurbs and even a play or two.  

    If you find her lil' life lessons and imaginative storytelling enjoyable or useful - please comment and share!
