we must refuse to debate the worth of other people. We must agree that everyone has value at a human level, and that it’s not tied to their health, their job or their bank account. When we start allowing ourselves to debate someone’s worth, we’ve already lost. You are worthy, just as you are.

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not ...
