Quote Of The Day
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction, Love the neighbor as thyself.
George McGovern
Something About Being Woke
The word “Woke” in my mind is one of a call to action. Merriam-Webster defines it this way, “Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).” To me as a believer, it’s a call to action.
It’s a word with history for the African-American community to be vigilant against those who would do harm to their community. Unfortunately, the word has a negative connotation for some. For so many they have to be woke because it keeps them alive.
We all need to be woke these days. Lots of bad things are happening, and many people are experiencing pain for many reasons. In as much as I can be, I am woke, awake, and compassionate. I think good people should aspire to be what woke is in the best spirit of it all.
Quote Of The Day II
Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or ‘woke.’ And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.
Jane Fonda
