Th people we need to offer compassion to are not in the room … they are not in any room and the people who speak to them don't care about their needs.  There is no solidarity at the moment, ironically especially if you are white and speaking out.

Words I read:Unconditional love is a type of love that is given freely without any conditions or expectations in return. It is often associated with parental love, where the affection remains constant regardless of the recipient's actions or behavior.Martin Luther King Jr. emphasized that unconditional love is a powerful force for change and healing, stating that it is essential for overcoming hate and injustice. He believed that love, rather than violence, is the ultimate answer to humanity's problems.M. Scott Peck defines love as "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." He emphasizes that love is not merely a feeling but an active investment in the well-being of others.Bell hooks discusses unconditional love, particularly drawing from Martin Luther King Jr.'s work, emphasizing that love is a transformative force that requires courage and commitment, especially in the face of domination and hatred. She argues that love is not just a feeling but an active choice and practice that involves nurturing spiritual growth and upholding values like justice, honesty, and respectBooks:A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other PreachingsMartin Luther King Jrhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13532185-a-gift-of-love?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HP0tEsRZyf&rank=4All About Love: New Visionsbell hookshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=O4YfHy07GU&rank=1The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual GrowthM.

I asked a search engine. - why are people boycotting Coca Cola?People are boycotting Coca-Cola due to concerns over its alleged involvement in unethical labor practices, environmental issues, and its operations in disputed regions, particularly in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, rumors about the company laying off Latino workers and reporting them to immigration officials have fueled calls for a boycott among Latino communities.I can't believe anyone in Ireland going around an Irish supermarket feels Coca Cola is the right sponsor for ‘the magic of Christmas'Christ under the Rubble:https://youtu.be/Q-1brSPn66w?si=FVNeuagt9CZmPkpF

True origins of this quote “Grief is the price we pay for love” Colin Murray Parkes 1928– English psychiatristWe all have a role to play as the world exposes a cruelty in humanity that I believe we are re-writing in real time .. we have to witness the cruelty and play our part and what practices we have to stay in our own truth … executive order list:https://ballotpedia.org/Donald_Trump%27s_executive_orders_and_actions,_2025Ottoman Empire role in the saving Irish people during the famine I did fact check this … as it was instagram … https://www.instagram.com/p/DRgp9DnjSbP/
