I love passing along "highlight moments" in life. I love to read, and you will rarely find me at my local coffee shop with a book and highlighter in hand. I love to underscore the words that jump off of the page and become alive with meaning, insight, and depth. Many of these highlighted words have deeply shaped my worldview and the ways in which I approach the joys and concerns I have.
So....words of the wise:
" Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."
- Paulo Freire, Brazillian educator and advocate for the poor and marginalized.
What challenging words. It's impossible for us to be good global citizens and have no concern for those less fortunate than ourselves.
