– XVIII –

The problem with insistent inclusion is it ironically perpetrates exclusion. What I find most frightening and damaging, is the righteous indignation some take with excluding others, as if somehow its penance for generational or historical injustices. Society and people can only move forward through generosity in spirit towards each other, not through the perpetration of the same intolerance in a new form. We do better because it is the virtuous act. Not to sate the emptiness of vengeance.
