During the last few months I think the majority of us have been focused on COVID-19  and staying healthy, safe and sane.  But if you’re paying any attention you know there is a lot more change going on in the world than just the virus.  Some of the events and certain people you might agree with—and others you might not.   Let’s just acknowledge that neutrality is impossible.  We are either part of the solution—or part of the problem. And while it wouldn’t be SMART to attempt to suggest what any of you should think, it doesn’t hurt to remind each of us that, “If we don’t stand for something, we’ll fall for anything.”

Our age doesn’t matter.  If we are alive we still have a part to play. If we are choosing to sit things out or not get involved when obvious and repeated injustice occurs, then we are supporting those who perpetuate it.  Let’s never pretend that our silence or inaction doesn’t matter. It does. It’s time to be honest with ourselves and pick the side that best aligns with our highest values and then do whatever we can to bring about the kind of world we want to live in. It really is up to us.
