What skill would you like to learn?
The title is a little misleading because I don’t consider people who disagree with my world view to be fools. We can’t all see the world the same way and it would be tragic if we did. Boring wouldn’t begin to describe it.
Fools?
Is still the wrong word, but to me anyone who is aggressive, tries to tear people down, is violent, nasty, a bully, who starts a war, is not a fool, they’re another breed.
They may want their children to grow up in a safe world, yet don’t realise they’re the ones helping to poison it. I can’t understand the mindset.
What’s gone on in recent history should have been enough to make humans more accepting, compassionate, and connected. It’s unbelievable enough that there was one world war, let alone two, let alone this.
But we don’t want to be thinking about that.
Hit the change button
It’s time for us who believe in a fair, equal, respectful, safe world for all to stand up and say so.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world
Edmund burke
is that good men do nothing.
For men read people. For people read ‘you’.
If we want to keep suffering fools gladly we know what to do. Be silent, do nothing, and hope.
Hope yes, but be noisy and say no. I don’t believe violence ever cures violence, that harsh words thrown between opposing sides ever do any good.
I do believe that the more people who say no, won’t accept what’s going on, and speak out, the better. At least it represents a chance for change.
Never let the idea that a few people are more powerful than millions. It simply isn’t true.
We don’t need fools suffering, we need peaceful people raising their voices for peace.
The Fool from the Tarot
The Fool was the perfect image for this post. In the Tarot there are two sections, the Major and Minor Arcana, the first representing human concerns, the second representing spiritual ones.
The 21 cards of the Major Arcana are also known as The Fool’s Journey. The Fool is a happy-g0-lucky chap who sets off on his life journey as a child who knows nothing. Innocent, unspoilt, just seeking to learn and grow.
That’s the only kind of Fool we need in this world. People who are willing to keep learning, changing, connecting. Realise they don’t know everything and are not always right. Explore all the ways life can be approached, and who help the world to grow into a better place.
Those people are often dismissed as fools because they believe in a better world and trying to be the change the world needs. Those people are right.
