Choices Remain
Whatever you perceive to be the greatest challenges facing you, your family, your community, and your world - you can take diverse, regular, and intermittent steps to address those challenges.
Whatever frustrates you on any of those levels, you can find multiple and simultaneous ways to address those issues on various levels.
Your challenges and choices can be how to use ingenuity, technology, and multiple mediums to best address the broad range of issues that concern you.
To the degree your efforts disproportionately focus on one problem, then the time, thought, and efforts used in pursuit of addressing only one dominant problem will take away from your ability to proportionately address other problems that concern you.
To the degree you focus on helping only one person, then those times, thoughts, and efforts may not be able to help many others who might benefit from your intelligent aid.
When in doubt, consider mediums and methods that can help one more person.

On side notes:
Congratulations to Gerard Way, Gabriel Bá, James Jean, Dave Stewart, Nate Piekos, Tony Ong, Sierra Hahn, Scott Allie and Mike Richardson on the 6 completed issues of The Umbrella Academy - an artwork that effectively deploys most, if not all, of the strengths of the comic medium, using superheroes and ultra-violent allegory as an examination of familial and interpersonal conflicts. It is an extraordinary artwork and I highly recommend the 6 issues or the trade paperback that will collect all the issues into one volume.
As a kid, I grew up in Mike Richardson’s little neighborhood comic shop of horrors, before he started Dark Horse Comics. I enjoyed reading and examining all manner of comics “inappropriate for girls and boys” in the encouraging environment for reading and exploring new ideas that he created.
Congratulations to Terry Moore. The first issue of Echo #1 is amazing and Terry continues to reveal his superhuman skills and work ethic to self-publish in an era when self-publishing should be impossible. Truthfully, self-publishing has always been impossible to do profitably, but don’t anyone tell Terry that because it has never stopped him from somehow finding ways to do it successfully.
I was pleased to see the headline today that Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have removed their petition for divorce. I’m completely uninformed about their lives, but nevertheless I’m very happy for them if reconciliation is what they want.
