Zero Tolerance Policies are a failure of compassion and understanding, or are selectively ignored (And thus not actually a zero-tolerance policy)
Because of these two; the failure of compassion and understanding or selective ignorance, the policy fails, and breeds either hate and disrespect or a disrespect towards policy.
We carry with us the garbage of the history of our cultures
intellectually, spiritually,
we know better
but it is hard to shake the 40 years of residue from swimming it and breathing it
must scrub it off
reframe our thinking
over and over
each time we see more of ourself
shining through
It took 300 years for Enoch to build Zion
300 years of scrubbing, reframing, reteaching, retraining
incremental improvements, on a grand scale
a whole city
imagine how it changed
as people got a little better each day
walkable streets?
no litter
flowers and fruits and gardens
neighbors helping each other
imagine these small little changes
GO and do likewise
