We are all part of the narrative of the human race

Each and every one of us is part of the story of the human race.

What contribution will we make?

Will we say something that is different to what has already been said?

Will we create something new?

Will we inspire others to continue the narrative?

We are all part of the narrative, we can choose to take the opportunity that we all have and make our contribution matter.

Staying on the bus

‘Staying on the bus’ by Philip Dodson

Staying on the bus.

Staying silent.

Looking away.

Closing our eyes.

Not speaking up.

Doing nothing.

Not wanting to cause a fuss.

These are our choices to things that challenge our moral sense of right or wrong, that challenge our worldview, our values, our sense of what is decent human behaviour.

Staying on the bus is easier but it has consequences and we will all have to be responsible and live with them often some way in the future when perhaps we regret our choices.

But there is an option, jump off the bus, speak out, listen and understand the other view and then do something inspiring to influence change.

Leaders do not look away or stay on the bus.
