Dear Great-Grandfather,
I understand that, in your time, it seemed justified to view certain groups as less valuable. But does dividing “us” from “them” really make sense? Those divisions are built on ignorance and fear, and they harm everyone involved.
No matter where someone comes from, what they believe, or how they look, we all share the capacity for suffering, joy, and love.
Christian values teach us to love our neighbours and treat others as we would want to be treated. Have you ever thought about what it would feel like to be in the position of those you’ve been taught to devalue? What if empathy, rather than fear or indifference, guided our actions?
In my time, I advocate for non-human animals, whose capacity for complex emotions and social bonds is now well-proven by modern science. While the issues are different, the principle is the same: empathy reveals the value in all living beings. Through reflection, we can learn to treat others with the love and respect they deserve and I truly believe this can even help us find more love, respect and ultimately contentment for ourselves.
So.. hoping you might consider to stop hunting down polish people… and maybe go vegan too. cheers.
