The Enemies of Humanity Do Not Commit to Health
There is something thing you need to know about the people you don’t like.
There is a cohort of people on the planet that are not committing to health. That might be your enemy or that might be you. Of course, there are several different arenas of life, which means that you might be committing to health in certain arenas while ignoring health in others.
What is important isn’t necessarily who your enemy is. What is important is if you are committing to health. But what exactly does that look like or entail?
In this context, being committed to health is about actively listening to what others have to say. It’s about acknowledging that you could be wrong but no one can know for sure because there are a flurry of opinions and no hard facts. It’s about taking the time to educate yourself in order to curb the spread of misinformation. It’s about acknowledging when you are making a point based on how you feel and not sharing it as a hard fact. It’s about empathy.
As stupid as you may think your enemies are, there is a reason they think the way they do and a reason they take the actions they take. Those reasons, experiences and thoughts are absent from your own life, which is why you aren’t able to see things from their perspective.
