Here's why I'm posting this: https://open.substack.com/pub/veganhorizon/p/why-is-sexual-abuse-okay-when-we

My neighbourhood's peace is frequently shattered by the yapping and squabbling of cooped-up dogs. Until I dig a bit deeper, it sounds like neglect and disregard.

Recently I discovered some posters by the Cinnamon Trust (https://cinnamon.org.uk/), encouraging volunteers to step up to walk local dogs that don't get out enough.

So I wondered about connecting these two phenomena.

Feedback welcome.

Do you appreciate #empathy? Could you imagine a #cult that is glorifying the lack of empathy and #compassion? Could you imagine a cult casting empathy as a 'parasitic plague'? This cult exists - in an incredible unholy alliance.

That's the dadgum truth, right there.

When you deal with #conservatism, deal through #compassion not rage.

”Daddy’s back!” is not directed towards you, but their own willingness to submit themselves.

Reserve your anger to be deployed as a symbol of missed justice. You’ll need to do plenty of that so use it sparingly!

The world may be a little crazy right now, but at least:

1. The days are longer than the nights. #Spring
2. Good people are rising up.
3. #Artists, #actors & #musicians are in full #creative mode.
4. Now has never been a better time to do something creative.
5. The value of #positivity is now known.
6. The value of #mentalhealth is now known.
7. The value of taking #risks is now known.
8. #Courage & #compassion everywhere.

Every #crisis is a chance for you to be someone's #hero.

When the cost of living goes up, when people go hungry, when the future is gloomy and when the rich celebrate the governments they purchased.

The end goal of rich people and politicians is to keep people miserable enough to keep them busy but not so miserable to not have anything to lose.

And as the result, society finds an easier target, a less protected and the most unfortunate part of itself to blame and destroy. People will start stealing from one another to survive, and that's when compassion, empathy, and sympathy die.

When a group of people rises against the oppressors, the rest of the society would stand and watch. And when they themselves rise, there's no one else left to rise with them.

By not rising against the oppressor all together, people will pass on the burden to their children and their children's children until a generation comes that have nothing to lose and nothing to fight for, so they become numb.

I'm an Iranian who lives in Australia. The above is what I witnessed in my country. And unfortunately, I can also see the seeds of what happened in my country being planted in Western civilization. The US and the UK are already advancing in this path. The AU and NZ are starting the process. And I can see it happening in other countries around the globe.

Will people of these countries recognize the threat and rise against it? Will society stand up for itself or sacrifice part of itself? I can't tell, but at this stage, I don't see it happening.

My final day at Kitty Pechersk in Kyiv was spent loading vital humanitarian aid: hygiene products, clothing, diapers, juice, blankets, and essentials destined for the community, providing a small piece of comfort to those in need.

Humanitarian organizations like Kitty Pechersk, and numerous others, are a lifeline for countless Ukrainians.

Sharing this post is a simple yet powerful way to show your solidarity with Ukraine.
