Maybe the best thing to engage in is ... ART
America is cracking up, Ukraine is suffering, Russian and Ukrainan soldiers are dying - all because the dictators of evil (Trump + Putin) are plain vanilla macabre. Small thieves = small problems. BIG dictators = HUGE problems.
SO the art that I engage in right now, is calligraphy, photography and ... as above in the headline picture Taiko.
Is it soothing? Well at least it takes the mind off the global crises that we see.
