Until A Pattern Is Broken

What do you think about this observation?

If I added this, what about now? 

Which image above pricks us the most?  Why?  

Doesn't it seem a little too convenient to react to the method, and not respond to the message?

Does the right to free speech include the right to not listen to any perspectives other than our own?  If so, it appears that what we continue to see from both sides is the only alternative and an ineffectual one at that.   

How about some real personal reflection? And then some real collective dialogue, starting with whichever image provokes us the most and work together from there? 

Reflection, discussion...things that need to lead to action or the pattern will just continue.


Though it shouldn't matter whether George Floyd was a 'good person' or not (aren't all people made in the image of God?), here is link to some information about his life and the kind of person he chose to be.
