Distrust, Division, and Oppression

Beware of those who target the most vulnerable members of society while defending the most powerful.

Beware of those who who claim that their freedom is being “cancelled” while urging the banning of books.

Beware of those who claim that their rights are being infringed while they seek to limit the rights of others, whether by law or intimidation.

Beware of those who reject what can be measured, but accept what is rumored.

Beware of those who dehumanize their opponents with claims of aberrant behavior.

Beware of those who view their neighbor’s gain as their own loss.

Beware of those who believe that in order to get ahead, we must restrict the opportunities of others.

Beware of those who interpret events through a filter of fear rather a powerful lens for potential.

Beware of those who, whether with the best of intentions or the worst of human impulses, encourage distrust, division, and oppression.
