I am thinking about #5, whether a people who are comfortable can understand freedom and justice; lately, it seems to be so.
I read a biography about Bonhoeffer by a man who writes about him, the name escapes me ( like most do these days). A second book awaits in my shelf.
And then there is Timothy Snyder.
There is an imperative now to define what I feel, without generalizations, prejudices, all the rest that conceals who I am. I keep screaming Why, why do I have to answer these questions
Thanks to the violence erupted into the US, really. I am better to know myself and as Snyder writes, to do what I can.
This is beautifully said. I think you’re right about #5; comfort can make people forget what freedom and justice cost. And yes: once violence enters the picture, the questions are not optional.
Timothy Snyder is right—know yourself, then do what you can. Thank you for reading and for putting words to what a lot of people feel.
