When we begin to reason with our own emotions, we can begin to understand, reflect, and progress. Wanting to learn why we feel the way we feel is the first step into understanding our ourselves; our triggers, our likes, our dislikes, fears, passions, and more. Not only will we be better able to understand ourselves, but others as well, thus building up our relationships with, and empathy for, one another.

It also holds a double meaning behind it; third, if you also take into consideration our current situation of a global pandemic.
