#Theweekthatwas @ 06/04/2025
A celebratory and jarring week, taught me that:
Passion can sometimes be misconstrued as zealousness
Kids' joy is so innocent and palpable
Saying racist things and then apologising for saying racist things doesn't erase your racism
Being racist as an everyday member of society is a you problem, being racist when you represent the very body that stands for all human rights is a society problem
When you lie many times about small things, lying about big things becomes easy; and lying about big things consistently opens the door to many evils
When you're genuine about wanting to help, people can feel that about you and will seek you out
Seeking feedback provides a fast-track for improvement and progress
Purporting that everything is always fine closes the door to feedback, significantly impacting one's opportunity for growth
An intention has the power to turn the ordinary into extraordinary
When one lacks self-worth, a position of authority will trigger the ego, causing one to do strange things
A small team of well-intentioned, well-led, capable individuals can make magic happen
