Today I heard about another divisive moment in the news. I’m not going to name it. You probably already know.
What hit me wasn’t the event itself. It was the noise that followed. The outrage. The counter-outrage. The takes on the takes. And somewhere in all of it, we lose each other a little more.
I’m tired of it. I think a lot of us are.
I keep wondering: when did we stop believing we could be better than this? When did we decide that being right matters more than being kind? That our feed defines our neighbor?
There was a time when the world felt smaller in a good way. When people with nothing and people with everything could sit in the same room and agree on one thing: we need each other.
So tonight, I’m making a choice. I’m not reacting. I’m not adding to the noise.
Instead, I’m sharing a song. One that 46 artists recorded in a single night in 1985 because they believed that music could do what politics couldn’t.
“We Are the World” wasn’t perfect. But it was honest. And it reminded us of something we keep forgetting: there are no sides when the work is love.
Turn it up. Share it. And if even for three minutes, forget left and right. Just remember us.
🎵 We Are the World (1985)
Please share.
Thank you.
