Leaving this here

Once again, Janelle Monáe comes with a quote that stops you in your tracks and begs to be shared.  This time, it's in their forward for Octavia Butler's Kindred:

The idea of a 'hero' asks that we think about not only their bravery but also who or what is being saved

Humanity has been enamored with the hero's journey since time immemorial. It seems to be always taught as a lesson on how to behave,  especially in trying times. Yet, Janelle breaks down the idea of heroism so well in just one sentence. It's something to meditate on and take to heart, as life calls us to always stand for what's right and those most vulnerable.
