Dr. Glaude,

We are living in uncertain times. Life is so fragile and it only takes a moment to change everything that we have worked for.

We must construct a different type of bridge as we enter new territories, and at the end of each day we must gather the courage to say that we will try again Tomorrow!

Thank you for your brilliance, professor. Yours is the literary and logical analysis of how we can, “live [our] lives, prospectively, with a future in mind.”

‘Somewhat depressed?!’ Some of us are ‘Full-out depressed’ for every reason you list. You’re not alone. There aren’t words to describe the disappointment & despair over what is transpiring.

powerful words here...reminds me a little of the words from "A man for all seasons" and thinking a little of despair.....and the bleakness of the world and holding firm...

“When a man takes an oath, Meg, he's holding his own self in his own hands. Like water (he cups his hands) and if he opens his fingers then, he needn't hope to find himself again. Some men aren't capable of this, but I'd be loathe to think your father one of them.”

― Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons: A Play in Two Acts
