Q: Dear Todd, my problem is that I become depressed when reading the news and seeing angry, bigoted, homophobic, leaders who spew hatred. I can look at individuals as loving souls, however, if they follow certain political beliefs, I find it very difficult. And there are people who are simply cruel selfish beings. Can you speak to this in more detail and how to live in peace with such hatred abounding all over the world?

TODD ANSWERS: There will always be infuriating and tragic things happening on this planet of 8 billion people. We each have the choice where we put our focus
