To transform the conditions of the "wrongdoing", we have to ask ourselves and each other, "Why?"
Even--especially--when we are scared of the answer.
It's easy to decide a person or group is shady, evil, psychopathic. The hard truth (hard because there's no quick fix) is that long-term injustice creates most evil behavior.

Also, "Why?" makes it impossible to ignore that we might be capable of a similar transgression in similar circumstances.
We don't want to see that.”

We can love ourselves and feel bloated. We can love ourselves but feel uncomfortable in our skin. We are a work in progress and human and won't always feel amazing.”
