‘The biggest hurdle we face is not to get people to learn. The biggest hurdle is to get people to unlearn. It is true that no one is born racist, homophobic, patriarchal, violent, greedy, and apathetic. We are however born into a system that has already taught generations racist, homophobic, patriarchal, violent, greedy, and apathetic values. It has been ingrained in us so much that our only hope is to unlearn all of this so that we can set the path for future generations to be born in a society that seeks to finally learn the truth from the start. That we are loving, connected, accepted, giving, peaceful, compassionate, and empathetic souls at heart. To achieve this we must remember two sadly forgotten values. Humility and courage. Because it is not your fault that you were born into this system, but it is your responsibility to change this path for future generations.’
