Owing to some recent posts across various platforms, I offer this for our #HiveMind reflection …
Today I am mindful of those who choose to serve publicly, from elected leaders to first responders, often at real personal cost. As someone who feels called to serve, I know my own opinions must always be tempered by a vocation that nurtures integrity and restraint. This shapes how I speak and how I listen. I invite us all to take care in how we refer to, post about, and speak of those in public service. Words have consequences. They can build understanding or erode it. I sincerely hope we choose language that reflects respect, even when we disagree deeply.

@perlucidus I respectfully challernge your perspective. Honorable service is noble, whether they who serve carry job titles that imply public service or no. Cruelty, egocentric indifference, and aggrandisement are dishonorable in schoolyard bully, minister, officer and ruler alike.
