Kindred,
I commend your activism, especially in social justice
and the environment;
Freedom from injustice and saving the earth are great
causes.
It is, after all, what it means to be a good steward.
Good government or good governance requires electing
and having good leaders who not only have the vision and competence to lead,
but also the bravery, integrity and compassion to make the difficult and
complex decisions.
Every decision has a consequence: positive, negative
or unintentional.
If the consequences are negative, they must be
addressed, hopefully without blame and definitely with accountability and responsibility.
It would not do to make a bad situation worse.
Do not view the process of governance and responsibility
simply in terms of right or wrong; or even yes or no.
Even though, the process requires (yes or no) debates,
it comes only after the work of countless dedicated public servants coming up
with possible solutions (first).
Any negative consequences thereafter require the same
amount of work and dedication to resolve.
I would like to encourage you to continue your work to
make the world a better place.
And do not take any analysis of consequences or
resolutions to negative consequences as criticism of your person unless there
is cause to do so.
