Helping others become even better versions of themselves
In my bubble, I am right
I see you but you’re outside
My views are right
My bubble is right
Everyone I know is in my bubble
We can’t all be wrong
If I hate you, I must be right
If I shout, it makes it so
If I ridicule you, I have a good reason
There can not be a different view
That would mean that we are wrong
And I already know you are wrong
You are not in my bubble
In my bubble, I can’t hear you
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.
