Today's brief: The complexities of human society are vast, and among them, religion stands as a profound example of our collective imagination. As a construct of humans, religion reflects our deep-seated need for meaning, community, and transcendence.

Realize this, and you will find strength." —Marcus Aurelius This Stoic principle reminds us to master our emotions and not succumb to fear, even when governments may exploit climate change fears to justify control. By focusing on what we can control—our thoughts and actions—we maintain clarity and resilience against manipulation.
