2. Intentions vs. Agency

"People... realize that beliefs are disconnected from behavior. Their intentions are disconnected from their agency."

A human being working within a military or state apparatus might have good intentions, or believe they are a moral person. But their agency (their actual power to act) has been completely swallowed by the system. They are just a cog pushing a button because a software dashboard told them to.

Take a moment to breathe
Actually inhale and slowly exhale
Clarify your intention
How do you want to move through this life?
Is there one action or pause
you can take towards that way of movement?

A quotation from Bill Watterson

CALVIN: Hobbes, do you think our morality is defined by our actions, or by what’s in our hearts?
HOBBES: I think our actions show what’s in our hearts.
CALVIN: (after consideration) I resent that!

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1990-10-18)
