Let's stop glorifying professions. No matter what you're doing in life, you're still capable of doing good and bringing about plenty of evil

Thank the person for being who they are as a person. Not their job. Thank them for their actions.

This includes soldiers, doctors, policemen, nurses .. etc.

I met unemployed people who are selfless, helpful and doing a better job serving humanity than plenty of other people in the military or healthcare.

And I have known plenty of people who become stagnant and destructive as soon as they are assigned a fixed "hero" archetype.

I'm never glorifying professions or people. I acknowledge and appreciate when individual people make a difference for broader common benefit. Glorifying a profession doesn't help:

- if the doctor is making one wrong diagnose after another

- the nurse not paying attention to hand out correct drugs in right amount and at right time

- the teacher not educating their students to make critical and individual interpretation on subjects because they were denied full access to books and articles

- the judge ruling based on their political affiliation over judicial rules, judging defendants based on profiling

- the police using excessive violence, putting rights aside

And the list goes on and on. It's individual people making a difference or making it worse. Each of us have to make up what we want to contribute.

Thank you Mimi. I needed to hear this. I'm not proud of my position in life.
