The Complexity and Depth of Human Emotions

I thought readers would find this interesting. (More legible version below)

Two emotions that hit me hard:

Sonder (#1).  This strikes me as the pinnacle of morality.  We live our lives thinking of ourselves as the stars of our own movies, but sonder, if we’re able to experience it, enables us to look at our fellows in a far richer way.  It is, for instance, what drives the urgency of dealing mercifully with the people at the southern border.

Ellipsism (#13).  It’s highly unlikely that I’ll live to see how/if humankind ultimately handles things like climate change and the threat of world fascism, and that pains me, though maybe it’s for the best.
