On Deserved Comeuppance + its Ignorant Counterpart

 

                            "If someone is trying to shut you up, sing louder,

                                and if possible, better."

                                                                                Salman Rushdie

"It is difficult to hear the low voice of reason or see the clear little light of decency, but, of course, both endure and both remain perfectly safe guides."

                                                                        Dag Hammarskjöld, winter 1957

As I come to the end of my fourth year of service, I am grateful yet jaw-clenchingly pensive about the future. Not necessarily mine, but the world's in general. Somehow, Hammarskjöld's words are so relevant for this moment.
