Closing thread on 2022.

One definition of privilege is when you think something isn't a problem because it isn't a problem for you. We improve society by being conscious and aware of our privilege, and being sensitive to the struggles of others. This is a difficult exercise, but this struggle against injustice is the true Jihad.

For example...

I don't suffer from mental illness. Many I know have that struggle. I don't suffer from any physical handicaps. Many I know have that struggle. I don't suffer from substance abuse. Many I know have that struggle. I don't suffer from hunger, poverty, or loneliness. Many I know have these struggles.

Everyone has a struggle. In 2022 we saw working families struggling to put food on table, DREAMers & refugees struggle for recognition...

...COVID and ill people struggle for healthcare, BIPOC struggle against white supremacy, & the list goes on.

Everyone has a struggle you know nothing about. And that struggle is what makes us human. And that humanity is our reminder to be kind to one another, always. And that kindness is what leads to unity. And that unity, that unity is what transforms individual human beings into a successful humanity.

And our humanity, my friends, our humanity is worth struggling for.

In closing...

@QasimRashid
Those who don't think there's a problem, who don't strive to alleviate the suffering of others are the problem. But we've seen so many times in the past that if we stand firm together to fight injustice, then we can prevail. Thank you for all you do to raise awareness and to help others.

@QasimRashid Uplifting others is a glorious two way street! The good feeling doesn’t always (or have to) come from the uplifted individual or group, but it comes from and builds from within. Here’s to a 2023 with more love, peace, and joy for everyone
Thanks for all you do, Qasim Rashid!
