• What we now need to see is that human life doesn't need to be rescued from a fall that didn't happen. Human life needs to be empowered.

• There certainly are situations where I feel not empowered or uninspired. Particularly when the person's agenda is to intimidate through abusing their position or their authority.

When I am in a reactive state, I usually regret responding, because usually all that happens is that the intimidator feels righteously vindicated.
