The lazy take pains to avoid effort. And so they avoid seeing.
And so the denial habit. So the bubble habit.
Denial and mindlessness are the twin habits of the lazy.
Love is effort. Laziness is anti-love.
The lazy fake love as effort to get real effort back, but they don't ever make real, helpful effort because they don't want to see what needs doing. What needs attention.
They are the banality of evil. Destroyers of communities and civilizations.
We can still learn from what we've experienced, and never forget. Never forget. Forgetting is a form of laziness, too. That's what they depend on from society, and why they come out of their dark places from time to time.
We will not be safe from our own forgetfulness or fear.
So we have to SEE this historical event as a lesson of our history.
And not forget it. Not sugar coat it. Not legitimize it.
But teach it going forward.
