Nothing a mob does is clean

Every Sunday, after cooking for the church, we have to clean the kitchen. Our boss always tells us to "evenly spread the dirt". I think that mobs tend to do that, and maybe that is why they are called mobs, in reminiscence of the word mop that sounds similar.

No. Not from me. Never.

Not a step in your march.

I have marched. I was pressured into marching in a so-called Jesus March against abortion–em, sorry, pro-life. It was terrible. This is why I adopted the above lines as my strategy without knowing them. I choose the path less trodden instead of marching in-step.

Superhuman with accusation

Looking back, I can bodily feel the privilege and superiority oozing from our pores. We set the moral standard. We looked down on them. We accused them.

I regret.

No. Not from me. Never.

Not a step in your march.

The challenge is to stand firm against a moral wrong without being a moralizer. Abraham Lincoln managed to do that while standing against slavery. “With malice towards none”.
