This quotation is so appropriate for our times. First, I want to share an experience. This reminds me when I demonstrated a principle in corporate team-building workshops. The principle: show how important it is to recognize individual differences while working as a team. My demonstration was simple: I grabbed a book or piece of paper, and held the item as a shield against the palm of one hand so that participants could see the tips of my four fingers and my thumb. They could clearly see the differences of the fleshy digits. We laughed as we recognized the differences. And then I slowly removed the shield so that they could see what they already knew: my fingers are part of my hand. Again, we laughed and joked, this time about how silly it would be if one finger ridiculed or wounded another finger. And then the participants were ready for deeper conversations related to working as a team, leveraging their individual differences. (And for the record, I do not align with the current platitude that there is “no I in team.” Without I’s, there is no team.) These days, it is sad to see so many fingers fighting against other fingers, often about insignificant topics. This is primarily because programming through television, mainstream media, politics, big tech, etc. has presented evil as good, wrong as right, and lies as truth. The corrupt Deep State has taught us to fear, fight, and hate each other. Now, our digits need to join together as a powerful hand 👊🏻to fight against the evil that has infiltrated all countries. Many have raised a hand to take an 🖐🏿oath as a Patriot. Others have used their fingers of both hands ✍️ to be digital soldiers, keyboard warriors, citizen investigative reporters, or to take on other patriotic or life-giving roles. 🤝 Many of you are taking very positive actions. I applaud 👏🏼and appreciate you. Have Faith in Humanity. We are worth fighting for. 🖤🤍🤎👏🧡💛❤️🖖🏽💙💜💚
