Thou Shalt Not Be A Bystander
Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.

Thou shalt not be a bystander.

To Know
You do not wish to know…anything. You wish only to speak. That which you know, you ignore, because it is inconvenient. That which you do not know, you invent. But none of that matters, except that he was a good man, a kind man, who cared about the world, even when the world cared nothing for him.

Ivonova: “I wish I knew how things were going out there. The Captain’s idea about hitting Vorlon targets, delaying them long enough to put our fleets in the killing zone, between the Vorlons and Shadows.”
Lorien: “A brilliant strategy. He’s making a crucible, which he hopes will force out the truth. Quite brave. Possibly futile. But, very human.”

Vincible Ignorance
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don’t know because we don’t want to know.

Where You’re Going
