Start Simple

We should cherish our perspectives, our cultures,
while accepting our shortcomings As part of who we are.

Also, we should be optimistic, even inspired
because we are going in the right direction.

This not a pipe dream!
We are meant to work together and we can develop compassion.

But in order to succeed we need to defeat irrationality,
magical thinking, and other frauds.

Because these are the last mile problems

that prevent us from thinking critically.

We will face hard decisions,
even perhaps letting go of god (but not letting go of good)
and helping others do the same.

Being united in this is important because ideas are dangerous
If not handled intelligently.

We must to change how we think,
expand who we care about,
and what we value.
Because we are all connected, Literally.

I know we can rise up,
It doesn't take much to change the world for the better.
Plus if we use the right motivation and work together
We can do some pretty amazing things
Even under questionable conditions.

Start a Movement
