Thumbs up for Michael Coren
Posted date : May 30, 2026.
Well said, Michael! Your article was a much-needed reminder that change begins with me. Much of our society is characterized by hate, at times even promoted by leaders. I find myself drawn into that pervasive toxicity rather than stepping back and asking whether what I am about to say, write or do will calm the waters or feed the fire.
Passivity is not pacifism – we all have a moral obligation to stand against violence, hatred and injustice, but I will not be able to contribute to a more peaceful society until I learn to respect, yes, even love the people who think differently from me.
