Afraid to venture into the Venom tag because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and am not usually in lockstep with Tumblr on these things

“…We all know, sometimes life’s hates and troubles

Can make you wish you were born in another time in space

But you can bet your life times that and twice its double

That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed…”

Despite the impressive size of both, Goodwill’s hands are still bigger :3 +I wanted to paint them black, because they are canonically of this color, but I was lazy

I didn't want to impose on another post, but it inspired me to write something I've been meaning to write for some time.

There is this one video I watched years ago that stuck in my mind.

While this might be an extreme example, I believe the underlying principle is crucial, and it's something I've encountered in my own life. You can't change most bigoted people’s minds by being hostile or dismissive. Even explaining things often doesn’t work. To them, we are the "Other" or the "Enemy," so a confrontational approach usually leads to more hostility.

If you're trying to be a positive or neutral influence on someone, it requires a great deal of kindness, patience, and understanding. Sometimes, simply being willing to understand their bigotry can help dismantle it in even the smallest of ways. As Daryl Davis puts it, "Ignorance breeds fear, fear breeds hate, and hatred breeds destruction." In order to reverse the process, you have to start at the beginning.

Of course, this isn't for everyone and won't work in every situation. No one should be expected to be kind to someone who is outright cruel to them. Sometimes prioritizing our peace and well-being is more important.

That said, change and activism often comes at the cost of our own peace and comfort, and progress tends to happen on a very small scale. Yet, those small changes are vital in shaping the larger world.

I wanted to share this here because, although I'm not asking people to prioritize others over themselves, I've come across countless echo chambers (on tumblr, across the internet, and in real life) that make me uneasy about the state of the world. We're becoming increasingly desensitized, swinging from one extreme to another. It's getting harder not just to feel empathy, but to act on it, to look at another person and see a fellow human being rather than an adversary or a harmful ideaology personified.

Maybe I am imploring a little bit...

tldr: "The only safe and secure way to destroy your enemy is to make him your friend" - Mark Twain

Please let us try to be kinder to one another, help each other, and learn to engage in more meaningful, thoughtful discussions.

Inspired by @moniquill: We need to talk about the concept of poisoning the well here in Tumblr.

„Ich habe mich nie für den Himmel beworben aber wenn Gedanken einen umbringen könnten, dann wäre ich schon lange daran gestorben.

Ich denk’ zu viel nach und teil’ zu wenig davon mit. Ich gehör‘ zu der Sorte, die sich für jede Kleinigkeit den Kopf zerbricht.

Als wäre all das nichts.“

If Goodwill was a sound, it would be the sound of a blizzard from USSR movies and cartoons
