One step further, we need you to join the fight. We don’t need people to aim a gun or dehumanize enemies, in fact we need the opposite. We need people to build a better world, and the powerful stay in power by keeping us separated so that they can take advantage of our talent. Many very well intentioned people lose themselves in the politics and in the struggle, in categories of enemies and threats, lose themselves in determination. We need those people too, and there’s lots of work for them.
But our empathy is a power that has kept the world from destroying itself for thousands of years, its been the connective tissue that stitches us together. It’s time for the communicators, for the feelers, for those who are motivated by inaction to rise up, speak up, and find each other, find mentors, and be mentors. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we are our only hope.
