This is so true. So many people want to be Switzerland and it always seems to permit and encourage the bad actors! Be brave and be bold and stand up for what you believe in! 💙
Finding place in the center and understanding both sides, their positives and negatives, is it's own side. You don't have to conform to the left or right.
And I’d like to hold business to this standard, too. Trying to walk a neutral path is NOT not taking a position. If you profess neutrality, you are taking a position and that’s how I’m going to assess you.
We are but one people, walking upon the same earth. Division is a veil that blinds us to the truth of our unity. Whether with force or with stillness, let our actions be guided by necessity. For survival is our only imperative.
To say, “I am Human,” is to claim the only position that is neutral. To say, “We are Humanity,” is to embrace the only definition that unites us. Beyond these, all other stances are chains, and all other definitions divide.
Having been confronted with unrelenting evidence of who Donald Trump was through three election cycles, a constitutionally sufficient number of Americans chose a narcissistic egomaniac who has been convicted on multiple felony charges and indicted on many more.
Folks, After The 2024 Election Black/Brown Citizens Now Live In Fear Daily. Because A Criminal White Supremest Was Elected President By Moderate White Supremest’s. MLK Said It Best About Moderate White From The Birmingham Jail. Genocide|Oppression Of Women|Rape|Corruption- White Supremacy ✊🏽
Take sides but be flexible
Entrenched views make discourse harder
Conflict across the globe has often been resolved because both sides begin to understand the other
That’s another way of saying what Edmund Burke said many years before.
“For Evil to win, it only needs good people to do nothing”.
Bad people are always on the lookout to attack good people. Good people enjoy life everyday and don’t have time to prepare against evil.
That’s the problem.
Tell that to the man who said this quote, he was a holocaust survivor, and has certainly seen the same attitude from other people when he was still trying to survive
Well yes, you couldn’t feasibly know about every issue, it’s important to not let yourself fall into the pit of just “not caring” for things you should care and act about. When it’s all on a screen it’s easier to get stuck in that trap
This is a nice aspirational principle but it fails immediately in real-life situations.
For example, consider the current Israel-Palestine conflict. There has been egregious misconduct and cruelty inflicted on helpless civilians, by BOTH sides.

So who's the "oppressor" and who's the "victim"?
