From the Nobel Committee today:

“Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”

Any form of media that involves an angry man telling an audience what to be angry about for several hours a day is probably not good for the human brain

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

This weekend, I went to a talk on what true nonviolence can accomplish— about how using your voice while refusing to stoop to their level come what may has changed the trajectory of nations.

It’s for exactly this ⬇️ reason. It makes totally plain who the enemy is no matter the propaganda.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

An 85-year-old lady in my congregation told me today, "I've never met anyone quite like you...so never stop being unique," and honestly, that's one of the most sincere compliments I've ever received.

Do flexibility exercises each and every day, eat plenty of whole grains and vegetables, and drink lots of water.

It’s time to post this quote again…

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”
