Everyone likes to feel that they are being looked after. We take comfort in gestures of support and understanding, even if they don't amount to much by way of practical assistance. Sometimes, just knowing that someone else is taking an interest can provide sufficient moral support to encourage us to set about envisaging solutions of our own. Even if, you feel you are being asked to help a helpless cause, it may be that the most constructive seasonal gesture you could make might involve the suspension of your disbelief.
If life is a gift, where is the wrapper? And where is the complaints department to which we can address any concerns about the quality of the experience that we have been given? Not every gift is welcomed with open arms. Yet the universe is making no obligatory seasonal gesture when it imbues each one of us with the precious power to participate in earthly existence.
There is a reason why you are being given all you've got and why you could make an extra effort to let doubt give way to gratitude. You'll see that soon. Concern and consternation make a crucial contribution. We need these feelings. If we don't, we risk making foolish mistakes. Yet we also require the ability to override misgivings once we have explored the extent to which we should take them seriously. It can often be quite sufficient to identify a potential problem and then take steps to avoid it - or to recognise that there is a risk but to realise that this is just something that we are going to have to watch for and then hope for the best
