Thinking today about how much of what we consume online daily is emotion filled, trickle down, rhetoric. Most of it is designed to be divisive. And it’s coming from every side. Not a new thought, but its hit me hard the past few weeks of quarantine. Today, when I saw this powerful shot (by Erwin Blumenfeld featured in
@harpersbazaarus, July 1943), my perspective shifted a bit. I was reminded of the many unseen, unthanked, people who sacrificed for our right to disagree. Not sure our current state of public debate is what they had in mind, but because of them we’re obligated to listen, learn and disagree well. #memorialday thoughts.
