You’re too good for schadenfreude, you’re too good for gossip and snark, you’re too good for intolerance, you’re too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy. Don’t ever forget that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world. It’s the only thing that ever has. DECISIONS ARE MADE BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP „ “
