Charity Accidentally Gives People Meth
This week I wanted to share thoughts on a particularly weird story coming out of New Zealand. New Zealand is one of those countries I have always wanted to visit but haven't made it to yet. Known as one of the safer countries to travel to it makes the story even more odd and shocking.
I also wanted to share my thoughts on what feels like the mind migration people are making as far as their political views and opinions. Have you ever had a conversation with someone who had deeply held beliefs on the economy, religion, the 2nd amendment, or women's reproductive rights but the entire time they were talking you were thinking to yourself, how much of this is a performance?
Also with the rise in discussion about critical race theory, DEI, and inclusive language most people have had to ask for the first time what those things even mean as well as whether or not they agree with the narratives. One thing that always bothers me is when a new term or social attitude arises and there are some that, rather than learning with the rest of us, act like they always knew and were ahead of the pack because they're just that good and holy.
We're all learning, about the world and each other, and with that learning comes the need for patience and compassion. New ways of thinking don't always mean right ways of thinking but discussion is the key to better ideas no matter how odd those ideas seem at first.
