Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.

I've carefully considered this poem prior to posting. Please understand the poet is not saying it was OK or justified. Just that we should ponder the why.
Desperate Acts
(For 9-11)
By Nikki Giovanni
It’s not easy to understand
Why angry men commit
Desperate acts
It’s not easy to understand
How some dreams become
Nightmares
Those who wish
And those who need
Often feel alone
It’s easy to strike back
But hard to understand

This is a sweet little poem by Ms Giovanni. It reminds me of all that I don't know.
Don’t Think
By Nikki Giovanni
The most important
thing
I know
about teaching
is that the teacher is
also learning.
Don’t think
you have to know it
all.

> ... poet Nikki Giovanni’s insistence in her forgotten conversation with James Baldwin that “if you don’t understand yourself you don’t understand anybody else.”

#sundance film # 16 #GoingToMars The #NikkiGiovanni Project. A documentary covering the work and life and #BlackExcellence of poet Nikki Giovanni. This works as a great companion film...or maybe response film, to the James Baldwin doc #IAmNotYourNegro Does a fantastic job covering her career through transparency and a lot of real moments. Go see it when you can. #sundance2023

And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.”
