from the mind of critic-10/31/17

From the mind of critic: “If objects, people and events bend to our will, does too the moral arc of the universe? Does the arc always bend toward justice, and our species can either shorten or lengthen the bend? Can our thoughts, feelings and actions change the bend to a straight line, or maybe an S curve? Do semantics solve anything, or are they meant to sound good to make ourselves feel like we’re taking action? We, as in any one of us can change the trajectory of the status quo, society and collective evolution. It may take longer, but chances are if we’re determined and passionate enough, people will be drawn toward us, which is where the we, as in all of us comes in. Some of us believe light will win out in the end, and some believe dark will. Once we realize most humans want peace, justice, respect and love, we’ll see that not only do we succeed when all of us do, but we can bend, straighten, curve or downright destroy the moral arc, depending on how it benefits us and/or tears down others. Considering we build each other up because we’ve built ourselves up, we can shorten or lengthen the road toward justice. What is more beneficial? If our justice takes away justice from others, it’s not justice, it’s tyranny. We all want to fight tyranny, right?” 🙂
