Respect, honesty, truth, absence of violence, generosity, help and common good are the basics of ethics. Every person knows that. In a personal level they must guide our actions and in a social level as well. And the words and actions of everyone matter, both in private and in public.
The new US administration has engaged in the opposite direction. In every action and word so far. We have seen that inside the country and the approach towards Europe, Gaza and Ukraine. Let’s point that clearly. And even blaming victims (Zelenskyy) and praising aggressors (Putin) or criticizing friends (Europe).
So it’s up to us to raise to the occasion. It’s not only the democracy that is in danger, it’s the basics of any community and society. More over, it’s the essence of a human being, shared over the times beyond religions and civilizations.
