A most dangerous illusion is the myth of neutrality: “I’m not trying to help anyone but I’m not trying to hurt anyone either.” If we’re not trying to make the world a better place then we’re contributing to make it worse.

I think Eldridge Cleaver said “'There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you're going to be part of the problem.”

And to that end MSM refuses to cover the apartheid policies of Israel. The world pressured South Africa to end apartheid there but is silent on Israel? Why is that? Any criticism of Israeli policy is deemed antisemitic? WHY?

THIS. Is what you said that alleviated my disassociation. THIS is what helped me to want to pay attention and learn again. THIS is what woke me up to my own "toxic positivity" that was a mask for despair. Thank you so much for your voice of wisdom, knowledge and intelligence.

I don't think it's necessary to have proper motivation. People do the right thing for the wrong reasons all the time. It doesn't make what they did less right.

We must standup for what is right! Right now there are millions of traumatized youth that need to be healed! We can’t turn a blind eye to this and it will not just go away. We must never allow ourselves to fall into a place of such disconnect that we think Some 1 else will do it!

imagine teaching our young that life is about finding our purpose, and using our talents in a life of service.

What is the MLK saying about the silence of the "good people".
Replying to @marwilliamson
A little bit of self-reflection and self-awareness reveals the work we need to do on ourselves, the extension of which leads to our communities and the world. There’s plenty of work to do, just as there’s beauty to find.
