If you’re about to think “Oh no, I might not be able to get this or that at the grocery store,” take a moment to consider how US sanctions have effected people in Cuba, Iran & Venezuela. Millions of people for whom life has been made so hard. These are ways we can grow from this.

This is not an either/or situation. The tightening of our sanctions since pulling out of the Iran deal have only made things worse for people.

We are being taught empathy by the divine. People live with scarcity and lack every day even without a crisis like this
