Reading bell hooks essay "Love as the practise of Freedom" this morning and this line leapt out at me :
"Without an ethic of love shaping the direction of our political vision and our radical aspirations, we are often seduced, in one way or the other, into continued allegiance to systems of domination—imperialism, sexism, racism, classism"
More wisdom from bell hooks:
"Working in community whether it be sharing a project with another person, or with a larger group, we are able
to experience joy in struggle. That joy needs to be documented. For if we only focus on the pain, the difficulties which are surely real in any process of transformation, we only show a partial picture."
Thank you so much @giacbelloli for sharing this essay the other day. It really is magnificent
