BUT THAT MADNESS IS DIVINE

Me in the Black Lodge

“Empathy is thus a form of knowledge that can be hard to bear, just as pain can be hard to bear. But that’s precisely why empathy, properly cultivated, is a strength. As one of us has argued, it takes courage to empathically engage with others, just as it takes courage to see and recognize problems around us. Conversely, an unwillingness to empathize can stem from a familiar weakness: a fear of knowledge.”

Are we finally at the stage where people are realising that laws do not equal right or true morals?

When it is a crime to speak out against genocide but the illegal act of genocide is protected, how can anyone think that law equals right?

Isn't it time that people realise they may have to act "illegally" to do the right thing? On many fronts. People may have to lose their liberty. Their jobs. Their homes. In the pursuit of what is morally right, yet judged to be "illegal".

There is no real law when its written and enforced by psychotic despots that will lock people up for resisting war crimes, or other crimes, yet put those that commit such crimes on a pedestal.

Is it that time now where everyone sees this and acts with bravery? Because judging from what I've said above, we live in tyranny, where harm and evil are rewarded, and goodness is punished.

Morality isn’t dictated by law, and history honours those who challenge unjust systems, even at great personal cost. The question is whether enough people feel the urgency to act despite the risks to them personally. I hope we are reaching this point, because if not, the awful status quo will persist to the detriment of justice, morality and humanity.

Inaction and apathy allows tyrannical systems to endure longer than they might. Just look at history.
