"People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference." - A. Sorkin -- My tweets are my own.
Some food for thought...
"So I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile. If I'm gonna go down
I'm gonna do it with style.
And you won't see me surrender.
You won't hear me confess.
'Cause you've left me with nothing
But I've worked with less." - A. DiFranco
"The world needs more empathy, more humility, and certainly more decency. If you really want to shock the world, unleash your kindness." — @bradmeltzer, '92

Wow! This is so good. Barack Obama knows exactly what to say, every damn time.
He taps into the struggle we are experiencing in society & in politics with culture wars, diversity and inclusion and the dangers ahead — unless we find a way to live & let live.
“It’s easier for people to agree on stuff when the majority of people look the same, worship the same way & share the same traditions. It’s harder as societies become more diverse, and everybody is at the table.”
Worth really taking in.
Obama: “What Hamas did was horrific, and there is no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation, and what’s happening to Palestinians, is unbearable…
“You have to admit that all of us are complicit to some degree.”
