The people who have it all together are the very people we don’t relate to, envy or even resent. So why do we spend so much time editing photos, carefully constructing bios and perfecting our profile to be exactly what we want others to see? And what would happen if we didn’t?
Election Day brings out the natural affinity in each of us to draw party lines and huddle together with our own team. But does this require real courage or result in lasting social change?
