Speak no Evil, See no Evil, Hear no Evil. 🙈🙊🙉
The Japanese „Three Wise Monkeys“ are often decepted as an metaphor of good mind, speech and action. 2020 has been a tough one. Maybe the toughest one so far in some of our lives. But aren‘t the toughest times the ones we learn the most from.
As a journalist, it‘s deeply embedded in my body and mind to never keep my eyes and ears closed off to the things going on in the world, to raise my voice when necessary and to educate those who are still in the dark.
Staying silent and looking away is something we need to stop doing, and instead step into the world with broad shoulders and high heads, ready to listen and learn from those less fortunate.
And as our horizon grows, we should spread the knowledge further, in order to make this world a better place for everybody.
Because in the end we‘re all teachers to those who surround us, to those we bring into this world ourselves and the many generations after.
We have come far but we can take this a lot further. Let‘s be the ones who teach that good mind, good speech and good action are the way to go.
