In my twenties I had this moment /phase when I first realized this and I felt so betrayed. It's the biggest con that we get sucked into in our lifetime: that we will grow up and suddenly everything will make sense, we'll know what to do, we'll know what we want, we'll have it figured out. I can still feel the pain of betrayal, decades later, when it hit me that nobody has a clue really and everyone is making guesses and experimenting and trying to muddle through a best as they can and nobody has a masterplan.
I’d like to add to the list: hostages still in Gaza, if they’re still alive.

Well said, Anna. It’s jarring and painful.
