Justice is about fairness.
Even in this highly polarised world we live in (particularly around politics), I seek to, as Stephen Covey would say: “listen to understand“. However, when something goes against my values, it breaches my boundaries and that means taking a stand.
My core value is FAIR, and today I am reminded of this line by Cornel West, quoted at the end of the wonderful video at the base of today’s post.
Justice is about fairness.
I am someone who looks to make a difference through supporting leaders and businesses. I’ve always avoided “taking sides” around politics, but the US election has me take a definite stance.
Do I respect and care for people who are Democrats? Yes. Republicans? Yes. Trump voters though? No.
I believe in fairness, justice, equality, choice. I believe in abundance, not scarcity, in trust, not control, in love, not fear. Trump stands for the opposite.
If you choose to vote for Trump, you are making a conscious choice that goes against my values in so many ways. Know then, that this crosses a line for me. If you choose to vote for Trump, you and I are done. That’s what my boundary is. Simple:
Justice is what love looks like in Public.
Choose Love, not Fear, Vote Biden/Harris.
