Behaving Kindly Towards One Another

When I saw this supposed quote from George Carlin I looked it up immediately.  Was it real?  Does this man of such great insight regard kind and law-abiding people as cowards?

Carlin was an astute social observer, who may have gotten some things wrong, but this wasn’t one of them.  He didn’t say this, any more than Abraham Lincoln warned us about disinformation on the Internet.

Making sacrifices for the overall public good is something that decent people have always done, and will continue to do as long as human civilization continues to survive on this planet.

The motto of the independent school in Philadelphia, Penn Charter, in which I spent my K – 12 days, translates from the Greek as “Love One Another.”  I’m sure the MAGA folks regard this as woke and sissified, but I’d far rather be a person of kindness than one of hate and ignorance, regardless of the consequences.
