“New” often conjures up a sense of hope and freshness. A yearning to make whole again all that was broken, and to start on a clean slate every year.
What is often omitted though, are the positives that came along with the perceived and often exaggerated negatives.Surely that is more welcome than hearing from your doctor how your tuberculosis was almost surely going to kill you, no matter how perfect his English was while saying it! In the national context, we encounter this reaction whenever we see triggers of rising conservatism, whether real or imagined.
Isolated incidents can sometimes be blown out of proportion but setting the track back to moderate is appreciated by many, including politicians who may have found themselves too far right or left to affect change. Reprimands or suggestions by civil society functions as political cover that opens dialogue and enables policymakers to act without fear of overt censure or political backlash.
Carving out an acceptable safe space to practise one’s beliefs, culture, gender expression, and artistic freedoms, and enshrining it beyond assail, should be the foremost priority, engaging in dialogue and seeking first, as St Francis did, to understand before being understood.How does this translate into something actionable? The first is to identify whether something is affecting your rights or if it’s something you’re just not comfortable with but is harmless.
There is now, more than ever, a need to talk to one another, to dispel rumours and inaccuracies designed to split our communities.
