I don’t usually comment on my own stories, but I was asked about this on another platform:

I’m hoping to get people to stop and think about their motivation and how dug-in they are about their assumptions of other people’s intentions. This photo, to me, shows ignorance and immaturity. And more segregation. People are giving too much importance to material things, to brands, to symbols (even the flag), to everything BUT the ONLY thing that matters: LOVE. We need to search our own hearts and be the person who is promoting a more loving and peaceful world. I think that is impossible when you are promoting hatred toward entire groups of people — or even one, like Kap — based on your misunderstanding of them. As Stephen Covey says, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”

To be clear, a caveat: I also promote removal of trump and his enablers. The reason I do this, which may look hateful, is because of the harm they are doing to large groups of people, like immigrant children and those with chronic illness. Just as we must promote Love, we must also stand up for those who do not have the privilege or platform we have. Each of us has our own unique power. We must use it to create a more loving and compassionate world. It is our only hope. #WeAreAllOnTheSameSide
