It’s time we moved on

When something is broken.

When hate has become the currency.

When previously unacceptable things become the norm.

When outrage is reserved for the unimportant.

When protesting is selective.

When we the human race seem to have given up on humanity.

Time for a new approach, one that we’ve never tried.

It is time to try compassion, empathy, it is time to abandon the myths that benefit just a few. It is time to stop fighting each other. It is time to walk in another person’s shoes and see the world from their perspective.

It is time we moved on from a tiny few dictating to the many.

It is time we unite as a single human race against suffering.

It is just time we moved on to a different approach.

Fear and fences

If you have nothing to fear you do not build a wall, a fence, put up cameras and have armed police.

If you lead by example, if you stay true to your values, do what is humane, behave decently, respect others and if you make a difference in an inspirational and honest way, then you have nothing to fear.

Fear creates barriers, physical and mental ones. Fear creates extremes such as lies, hate, anger, violence, and also apathy, acceptance of injustice.

Outside of the home of the great British ‘freedom and democracy’ stood a fence, cameras, lines of police, and no sign of the leader that all of that is there to ‘protect’.

It’s not about politics, it is about decency and humanity. None of that can be built behind fear and fences.

We need to build alternatives, we need to take down fences, physical and virtual ones, to unite as the human race against injustice. A world for all not just a tiny privileged few.

If you believe in the human race, then act and do not accept being controlled and enslaved by just a tiny few.
