POLITICAL STATEMENT

I hate political statements. 

We see the proliferation of political statements of companies and businesses during the 'Black Lives Matter" protests. What did we get as a result? Nothing. Aside from millions of money going to the pockets of the organizers.

Now with the war of Israel and Hamas after October 7th massacre, hundreds of political statements were issued but nothing had come out of it, aside from more entrenched position against one group over the other.

I find these statements hollow and hypocritical. 

With the UN-speak, everything is coached in very vague terms and yet the slant is visible. If these terms were used you know what side they're on:  genocide, ethnic cleaning, starvation.

Mere words of solidarity don’t move the needle on world’s challenges. Action does.  And if you want to make a difference, teach your community how to handle conflict based on perspectives and stay away from words that agitate and further divide people into camps. It starts with us to hold that line very clearly.

Words are so cheap but action takes courage.

Political statements are mere political positioning. 

Really, do you really have to waste time just to prove that you have an opinion.

Your opinion doesn't matter.

If you come to educate and inform, I will listen.

I will be open-minded.

If you come to tell me I'm wrong and you are right about this.

I guess we call it a day!
