This quote attracted me especially with "keep the darkness at bay." We need only glance at that electronic brick in our hands to see an infinite amount of darkness. The darkness that is most troubling to me is the amount of misinformation and outright deception that is being passed off as truth. Our current political leaders have built their careers and thrive on this. This is generating a huge amount of mistrust, which is not the direction we need to be headed.
I explored the term "woke" used by conservatives as an insult to the rest of us. This is what I found via Google:
"Woke" fundamentally means being aware of systemic issues and injustices. It often implies a commitment to social justice and fighting against discrimination and oppression. It can also involve being mindful of different cultures and perspectives. In essence, "woke" represents a call to be informed, aware, and engaged in addressing social and political issues, while also being subject to debate and critique.
This is a bad thing!?!?! I'm OK being called "woke." I guess the opposing side is asleep? dead? comatose? They are certainly acting that way!
