Each person will see when it is their time to see. But we cannot blame a blind person for stumbling or for not advancing but growing tired because they continue to walk in circles attached to the some totem pole that gives them a sense of safety. Yes, they are moving but not advancing.

Recently I came around a similar situation. The person retract themselves. But did they change their feelings and opinions as unjustified as they were? Probably not. To silently hate is still hate.

I told my son the other day, you need to understand there are some people who are blind. Hey, I am at the very least ignorant about certain subjects. Just be careful when you walk around them, I told him, They don't know were they are going and sometimes it is best to step out of the way.

I think it is important to call people out when it is possible, like you did. The problem is that most of us want to accept a good self image of ourselves, we want to believe we are the good guys. I don't want to believe I am bad. The same with most.

And that is fine. And I don't think it is about being good or bad. But if I'm standing on a field and confuse a zebra with a horse, maybe it will be appropriate to be corrected. Maybe it won't matter. But it is up to us to want to see the difference. To notice an error doesn't mean we are bad. Actually, to realize we made a mistake implies we are good.

Anyway, that was my virtual speech to your waiting room speech!

We put too much in the shape of the container in this country. Not even the shape, but the color!

Thank you for writing.
