discomfort .....in progress

Discomfort, harsh preceptor of empathy and compassion, you appear when something is wrong, demanding our response. These days, a deep and massive discomfort is screaming from all continents and in every language, THIS IS WRONG; too many suffer for the benefits of the few; too many have grown comfortable with hate; too many mountains have fallen; and our feverish earth is thrashing in pain. With compassion and justice as guides, discomfort can transform and reform us, and the world we inhabit. We must listen to discomfort's call to action and not let comfort create complacency.

Discomfort can happen with fear and dread.  Knowing that you will get hurt because you’ve been hurt before.  Waiting for it to happen.  And everyone is there watching and waiting too hoping for some excitement or explanation or spectacle to release the uncomfortable tension.  But the tension is normal and releasing it is not normal and would cause discomfort.  So nothing happens.  Or almost nothing anyway.
