things are hopeless and that is beautiful
| do not waste energy demonstrating the absurdity of evil. | AM I HELPING? |
| do not put on their faces and try to make them look foolish. in doing so, you become closer to them. mocking cedes ground. |
AM I HELPING? |
know that: |
|
| your deepest despair is someone's greatest optimism | AM I HELPING? |
| your ironic joke is someone's fully articulated worldview | AM I HELPING? |
| your words become other people’s strawmen | AM I HELPING? |
| your shadow becomes someone’s distorted anecdote | AM I HELPING? |
| your harsh critique is their praise | AM I HELPING? |
| your deep concern is their unique selling proposition | AM I HELPING? |
| your jokey malapropism is someone else's correction | AM I HELPING? |
it's going to get worse
before it gets even worse
> Shame is a useless emotion
> Name and shame
