Everyone says “You can only control your actions and reactions.”
but not how much work that takes.
It means making choices, in the middle of a trillion little moments…
okay, maybe a thousand,
to challenge you’re own interpretation,
Each reason for why,
even the ones we don’t like
because the other person,
is different,
not necessarily a threat
and our bodies alone are bias
to improve the speed of our judgment
to keep us safe
it is our brain’s job
to think critically,
and compassionately.
before we act on instinct
those who don’t try are inhumane
sub-humans.
