I get Maslow’s hierarchy. But even if focused on basic needs, you can still be concerned with the world. I’ve witnessed it on all 6 populated continents. Poor people, who have very little compared to anyone reading this, often still have an interest in the outside world. While laying around all day today trying to let my ankle heal, I’ve thought about Black Lives Matter, about the coronavirus, about the current political, economic, and environmental climate. I truly believe conversations can be enough. Not everyone is going to be an activist, not everyone will be an MLK or a Gandhi or a Chavez. But we can all ensure we don’t accept anything less than the best from our species. We’re not perfect, and we have a lot to fix, but we can always hold ourselves and our fellow humans to a high standard. We are capable of meeting it.
