"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
Particularly surprised (in a good way) to read about traditional values, as often I feel many outlets/published sources tend to lean too politically or culturally one way or the other. I agree with the sentiment expressed, and can't help but wonder if it's still possible to find a healthy balance instead of fearing that the cultural pendulum will swing one way or the other.
It would be nice to one day find ourselves in a world where we can acknowledge that leaning into an adherence to traditional values, or leaning away from them, is mostly a matter of personality predisposition, and that both perspectives can offer value in both insight and capability. Mostly, I think we can do this by trying to engage with one another in good faith rather than for political gain, but alas, globalization seems to encourage us to stray further from the belief in autonomy that would let us all just be ourselves in the first place...
Anyway, great article! Always love checking out the Weekly Edible
