BEWARE OF ECHO CHAMBERS

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Beware of echo chambers.
People who speak your thoughts
Will soothe your loneliness
But won’t show you your blind spots.

Listen also to those people
Who see you completely differently
From how you see yourself.
Completion seems sometimes unfriendly.

TOLERANCE FOR THE SAKE OF COMPLEMENTARITY

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

Human society needs a healthy mix of capitalism and socialism. Too much of either one has always proven to be bad.

Human society needs a healthy mix of faith and doubt. Too much of either one has always proven to be bad.

The world needs a healthy balance between “I” and “we”. Too much of either one has always proven to be bad.

We divide ourselves into “left” and “right”; and then we forget that left and right are the two legs on which that which is Human walks, balanced. They are not adversaries of one another; they are complementary to one another. Each must tolerate the other, for the sake of all.
