@mi7rennie on a personal level it has helped reaffirm what matters to me - family, friends and my values. It has also brought home that I need to stand and defend those values and engage - rather than being a cynical bystander. That maybe a short term feeling, but hopefully it will endure and lead to change in how I interact with society.
That's a great point, I'm in the same place, I swung from anger and disgust to basically hugging my family and crying like that time I watched the notebook. I'm now in the 'lets fix this shit' frame of mind, with a side serving of disgust at the lies and people that told them to bring us here.
