i was told that i need to take my responsibilities.
i agree.
however, in a very random discussion, at 5 in the morning, which was not even with me, with a woman older than me, that i exchanged only few words and never saw in my life… this responsibility, for sure, i do not take it. i do not have to.
i don’t have a son that age. and i was born gay so i wouldn’t have to deal with a child as a father, much less a child older than me.
the discussion took place because we have different time zones and while i woke up to enjoy my saturday-friday work-shift at 5am, i was inundated by calls for a holy-technological war in the middle of the digital field of some social media network.
do you want to know which war was this? that one of the good old christians against the good old lgbtqia+.
but i refuse myself.
i learned that even in my battles i need to know when, how and where to fight.
because, christ has already told us not to throw pearls to the pigs and social media, nowadays, it is not a place to start a fight, especially when the wounded of this battle will be ourselves. and when i say we, i mean lgbtqia+.
you are my people. i am part of you as much as you are part of me.
but there are other ways to win wars like this.
and my refusal of this call, is due to the strategy adopted: you do not defeat an enemy armed with a book that is more than 2,000 years old and a punisher god with shoulder strap; on shout.
this is also emotional intelligence.
it is knowing how to step back, not illuminating people who do not like light, it is not being fertile for infertile soil.
Exatamente 👊🏻
