We’re not here just for our own self, we are here for others. We are an integral and essential part of the whole. Nothing we do is in isolation. Nothing we accomplish is ‘on our own’. If all our decisions and actions serve only ourself without consideration for the other, we have missed the proverbial boat.

I was attracted to this quote by Brittany Packnett: “Train yourself toward solidarity and not charity. You are no one’s savior. You are a mutual partner in the pursuit of freedom.”

Solidarity. Now there’s a word. Train yourself toward boots on the ground pursuit of freedom, justice, equality, kindness, respect, mercy. Remind yourself that you are partner in all these pursuits. All of them.

Then I read the article that contained this quote. The title is How to Spend Your Privilege. Please read it here.

With great humility
