Season 20 Episode 3
Help Free Someone Else
“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.” - Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison’s sentiments echo those expressed by the Apostle Paul, “For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.” (Romans 14:7) We are all interconnected and are a part of something far larger than ourselves.
There’s a school of thinking that suggests that if we all go out and selfishly pursue our individual self interests, the invisible hand of the market will automatically bring the best possible outcomes.
This is both folly and idolatry unless we understand that we are interdependent and interconnected. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
If we ourselves are free in any way , we must work to free somebody else. Our wellbeing depends on it.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace.
