#Theweekthatwas @ 13/04/2025
An eventful week of listening, taught me that:
Sometimes a light is true and sometimes there's an illusion of light... we need to be super careful about which we choose to follow
It's interesting how many people are suddenly spouting about a certain country's foreign policies because it affects their pockets but are silent when that same country spends billions on killing thousands of innocent human beings #notmyproblem
When in victim mode, one is always starting from a position of relative weakness
Caring comes in many forms
No matter how old we are, we should always be open to feedback and be willing to learn from it
There are some of us who run towards an opportunity to appear in a photo with certain people at certain places and there are others of us who run away from it just as eagerly
The moment we begin to think our success is our own, is the moment our downfall is triggered
Privilege is such a powerful tool that can either be used purely for one's own benefit or to benefit others as well #allyship
If you have a platform or an opportunity to raise your voice for those who cannot, then you’re making good use of your #privilege
Silence and fence-sitting favours the oppressor #speakup
Integrity is a word that might be light on the tongue but weighs heavily on the leadership scale
Some life experiences are so rare, it's worth losing a few hours of sleep over
Being too easily offended reduces our resilience and could weaken our faith or beliefs
Accepting offensiveness from someone could be seen as giving consideration or power to that person #whocares
If our ethics has a certain colour or nationality or gender, we should have them audited
