Recently, I’ve come to realize that just thinking ‘this is bad’ isn’t enough. There’s a lot of listening, and watching, and thinking, and reflecting. It’s hearing ‘This is bad and let me explain why’ and then hearing ‘this is not so bad and let me explain why’ and then seeing a lot of arguing and looking at it all and trying to figure out where I lay, and what that means. And it means that sometimes I change my mind on issues, and sometimes I remain firm, and sometimes I make a conscious decision to do or say or like things that I realize are problematic.
It’s complicated.
