"Our worth is not based on who we are, but that we are." I just wrote this in a letter I am writing. And it was one of the first lines I highlighted in your book, Freedom. I love (hate) the reflection you make about what will happen when everyone has microchips in them. Firefighters save you bc you are. Will firefighters (and everyone else, including higher powers) begin a selection process? Terrifying, but was already on my mind. The immensity of the impact of NOT living by this definition of worth is.... I don't have words. And yet, we already are. All of us make a selection every day with every act. So what do we do? Stop living. The world would be better off without us humans for sure. And I (you, we) need to hold on to hope. And this isn't enough. I know you know. Responsibility. We have a responsibility to do our best (and I think it was Maya Angelou), when we know better, do better. We are so much more of service when we stop pointing fingers and creating levels and instead return to homebase. What am I doing to foster the hurt/injustice/destruction in the world. Me. What can I do TODAY (NOW) to do better? Hurt less. And what can I do to spread love and joy to another life, just because... I am and they are. Knowing that most of us will always fail more than improve. So stuck in these Ideas of comfort and privilege that do not feel comfortable or privileged, not even when we have it. Again, I am at a loss for words. This makes me emotional. I am just glad that you are. Sage, thank you for your work and your love.
Brilliantly written
