Taking a breath

The system is not broken. It was built this way. And functions precisely as we uphold it.

At the center of this is privilege, status, money, and all sorts of things we actually profess are not as important. When you are in the center, it can insulate us to the point that we can go about our day without seeing the problem.

We can’t have things stay the same. The data is too bleak. The problem with advantage is that after a while, you get used to it. It goes to our heads rather quickly too. Born on third base, thinks they hit a triple.

Sit with it before you try to dismiss that uncomfortable feeling. That is what vulnerability is: Emotional risk.

Vulnerability leads us to empathy. Empathy leads to change.
