We must all be wary....

....of oversimplification. We should be suspicious of sound-bites and sceptical of slogans. Why take a complex, multifaceted situation, intricately woven from many separate strands, delicately painted in 50,000 subtly different shades of grey and reduce it all to one swift stroke of a thick black marker pen?

Whether that's a cross or a tick, it is a cheapening; an insult to the intelligence and an abuse of a natural sensitivity that every human being is born with. Be open to deeper explanations.




The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all.  (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
