You know joke. "I don't have to outrun the bear: I just have to outrun you."
It's no joke if the bear is real.
It's no joke if the bear is fear: fear of failure, of not being enough, of loneliness, of violence, of not being loved.
It's no joke if the bear is adversity: living in a war zone, addiction or other illness (one's own or a loved one's), being a victim of discrimination, employment travails or unemployment, hunger, homelessness.
Let's not try to best each other. Let's be kind to each other. Let's be strong for each other.
Let's stand together and help each other face and drive away the bear.
