#Theweekthatwas @ 11/10/2026
An emotive week had some deep lessons:
In a public-facing position, accountability and redemption go hand-in-hand
We're all sinners; only some of us acknowledge and repent while others see no fault at all
There's a difference between serving and saving - only one of these is a role for human beings
Difference can be used as an opportunity to learn or as a means to divide
Putting your hand up because you have the requisite capability and experience is not arrogance, it's a responsibility
Silence in the face of oppression is in itself violence
When communicating, your message isn't half as important as how it's conveyed
You cannot claim to live your values and remain silent about things that matter at the same time
Humans were never created to have professional selves and distinctly different personal selves
If you have "professional" values and "personal" values as distinct from each other, don't be surprised to be exhausted, dissatisfied and burnt out
Every human has the right to life; if you disagree, you're either deranged or incredibly misled
Your past doesn't have to define you unless you choose not to learn and grow from it
