If you are feeling cautious to ask worthy questions because of what bullies, or those who lack insight or compassion might say, may you remember the words of Evelyn Beatrice Hall. May you be inspired by the countless courageous ones who have expressed their truth in the face of adversity: Rosa May Parks John F. Kennedy Robert F. Kennedy Martin Luther King, Jr. Eddie Mabo Malcolm X Joan of Arc Nikola Tesla Julian Assange Socrates Jesus John Lennon Hypatia Nelson Mandela Maya Angelou Michael Leunig Waris Dirie Thousands of women, called ‘witches’ …and countless others Historically and culturally, many of these people we herald today as change-makers have been ridiculed, censored and violently opposed. Many received death threats, or had their lives taken before their legacy or questions could be accepted as self-evident. I’m hearing many conversations around the amount of censorship friends are experiencing - Facebook, Instagram accounts are being removed, shadow banned and numerous YouTube videos deleted. Do you agree in the need for cultivating open, informed and respectful conversations about the mainstream narratives? How do we encourage our conscience-barometers and humanitarians to courageously express themselves? May we continue to support those who practice freedom of speech and shed light on the uncomfortable truths that challenges us. “Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” - Albert Einstein. #cencored #cencorship #silenced #shadowbanned #moderndaybookburning #question #freedomofspeech #humanrights #truth #expression #courage #conscience #humanitarian #leaders #shedlight #question #changemakers #diversity #moralbarometer #compassion」2月16日 15時26分
