In the social media age, every voice must battle for relevance and engagement. Silence is mistaken for ignorance and not having an opinion on any issue is akin to not caring.
In the battle to be right, we lose our understanding and compassion.
The situation between Israel and its neighbors is complex, rooted in decades of historical and
geopolitical entanglements. Similarly, Australia’s upcoming referendum regarding an Indigenous “Voice”
to parliament and constitutional recognition is founded upon centuries of perceived mistreatment of Australia’s indigenous people and long running social and economic issues within those communities.
It's quite easy to be pulled into the whirlpool of vehement opinions and heated debates, yet what is achieved in that? More often than not, it leads to deeper division.
There’s wisdom in not allowing oneself to be swept away by popular discourse. Not every issue or discussion warrants your energy and time. Notice when you’re drawn into matters that drain your spirit or draw you into negativity. Seek to understand rather than to be understood.
If you do choose to engage or voice your opinions, do so with kindness and respect. Don’t be a cause of further division in a world quick to judge and slow to understand.
