When I used to teach Junior Great Books to middle school kids I would train them not to answer a question too quickly. Put your hand down. Sit with it. You can’t possibly have something thoughtful to say that quickly. Wait a minute. Wait 30 seconds. See if something beyond your first impulse rises to the surface. Something about this photo makes me want reassert that old caveat. Take your thumb off the “like” button. Sit with it.  See if anything rises up.
