"I am curious if you ever played the version of "tag" I know. It's shockingly banal to remember: You were either It or not It. Strangely, your task was the same: to feverishly run around to escape being "it" or pass "it" to someone else. What a genius discovery for physical education teachers to gamify running for all, at top speeds, with no need for any materials and no elaborate rules."
"Niels Bohr, the 1922 Nobel Laureate in physics, had said, "The opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect statement." Okay, duh. That makes sense. But he didn't stop there. The brilliance comes in the next bit: "The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." 1 Mic drop. Profound truths have complexity attached; their opposite is often equally as true."
One person's courageous choice to do the right thing can inspire others and start a powerful movement. Avoiding responsibility or shifting blame both amount to running away from challenges. Active hope functions as a radical response in a landscape of constant bad, fake, and alarming news; hope multiplies when practiced. Modern life layers traditional personal struggles with global-scale threats such as intrusive social media, disruptive generative AI, civil unrest, and a warming planet strained by consumption. Profound truths often coexist with opposite profound truths, creating complexity that demands nuanced, intentional responses and leadership.
