No more apologies for a bleeding heart when the opposite is no heart at all. Danger of losing our humanity must be met with more humanity.
03897 – Humility Is…
Humility is taking time to form an opinion in a reactionary world. Humility is being committed to discovering nuance and complexity even when everyone else is dealing in absolutes. Humility is refusing to reduce another person's humanity simply because you disagree...
