Thought for today 23.01.20

RADICAL WORDS from the UK’s next Head of State – but there is little sign that his whimsical diplomacy will unsettle the status quo across the world.

“Words are used as badges of shame to mark others as enemies, to brand those who are different as somehow deviant. All too often, virtue seems to be sought through verbal violence. All too often, real violence ensues, and acts of unspeakable cruelty are still perpetrated around the world against people for reasons of their religion, their race or their beliefs.
“Knowing, as we do, the darkness to which such behaviour leads, we must be vigilant in discerning these ever-changing threats; we ust be fearless in confronting falsehoods and resolute in resisting words and acts of violence. And we must never rest in seeking to create mutual understanding and respect.”
Prince Charles, Davos, 23rd January 2020
