It Starts with You and Me
Changing the big picture issues starts with you and me.
There is some seriously messed up stuff happening in the world right now.
Almost all of it utterly lacks kindness, compassion, and empathy.
Rather than be inconvenienced at all — COVID deniers and antivaxxers are keeping the pandemic ongoing. Their lack of empathy and kindness towards anyone else is hurting all of us.
Texas passed a truly horrific anti-abortion law, complete with a dangerous whistleblower component. There is zero kindness, compassion, or empathy for women and their body autonomy in this horror.
The GOP is doing everything they can to suppress voters, gerrymander districts, evade all accountability for the January 6th insurrection, and every other thing they can think of with utter disregard towards kindness, compassion, and empathy for anyone but their own power.
The Taliban has taken over Afghanistan once more. They are unkind, uncompassionate, unempathetic rulers bent on control.
I could go on and on. But I think this makes my point. The big picture of the world is being continually reframed without kindness, compassion, or empathy for anyone or anything. It’s all about selfish, self-righteous, self-aggrandizing entitlement.
