We know more now. We can better tease out causes of symptoms.

For example, generosity is not the same as people pleasing. They can look the same, but one is born of love and one is born of fear.

We generally want to help people experience more love and less suffering. Give, not to please people, but to please yourself.

Believe to know more. As someone who has managed to live comfortably in the margins... I have never been more miserable than recently. What changed? This unsolicited assistance.

I was a perfectly fine and productive remote worker before the pandemic. Now, every bit of energy I have goes towards "no, really, I'm alright" and the leagues of hustlers.
