Is Anyone Free Of Sin?

Cancelling and call-out culture are similar but not the same. Though it could be said that calling out is part of or sometimes the first steps of cancelling culture. Calling out is basically as it denotes, making voice of actions, things, groups and/or individuals that one believes are not right, just, moral and ethical. After exposing such injustice, cancelling culture would follow by blocking the element/person from public light and denying a platform or career. Both of these cultures apply not only to public personas and the rich and famous, but also at the individual level in schools, offices and throughout “regular folks” day to day.

The biggest downside on the cancelling culture is its inability to forgive and move on. Having shame as the key tool to inflict terror, and the capacity to justify all actions taken without thinking of the consequences. Keri Smith’s quote and analysis on Neitzche on her Medium Post describe the situation perfectly “He who fights with monsters, should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.” How easy is it for ordinary humans to commit atrocious acts? History teaches us it’s pretty damn easy when you are blinded to your own hypocrisy. When you believe you are morally superior, when you have dehumanized those you disagree with, you can justify almost anything.”

Gandhi’s words “be the change you want to see in the world” apply now more than ever. Speaking about justice, equality and tolerance by dehumanizing people is more than just hypocritical; but destructive and redundant. If we really want change, community and understanding, the best place to start is from within. Empathy should be our driving force, and so I’ll end with some wise words by John Stuart Mill: “He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion… Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them…he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”
