There are moments when we are actual bystanders and can only watch. Sometimes we are mistaken when we believe we do not have a role to play and that we cannot make a difference. This would be one of those times when we should question our values and conviction and ask ourselves who are we, and what is our role in nurturing the ideals of humanity and humankind?
We are integral—every voice matters, including yours.
An excerpt from BBC News.
Steve Kerr, the head coach for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, a team based in San Francisco, refused to talk about basketball during a news conference and instead delivered an emotional speech condemning gun violence in the United States.
On Tuesday, 19 young children and two adults died in a shooting in south Texas after a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary school in the city of Uvalde.
Steve Kerr, said “basketball questions don’t matter” before talking about recent shootings in the US and asking when something would be done.
If you vote, you have a voice. If you call the United States your home, you have a voice. If you are on social media you have a voice. Use it for our children. Sitting back and saying this is a mental health problem is such bullshit and a feeble excuse for incompetence and ineptitude. So why is it that our politicians are not rushing to effect change? Power, status, money. Definitely not values, children, freedom for all.
