TOP 3 Reflections
I devoure what most people around me ignore.
Fear has a way of convincing a person that the most important thing in life is survival. It isn’t. It is quality of life. Quality of life is what humanity must stand for.
When individual freedoms are valued higher than the survival of a society, then those freedoms enable that society to not only survive but to thrive. When the survival of a society is valued higher than individual freedoms none of them will thrive and over time both will die.
