Perspective make such a difference.
Today I was talking to an "X" principle from a Catholic Native American School. He proudly quoted his “x” boss (A Catholic priest) with what I think he intended to be a benevolent gardener perspective.
"Natives are like plants, we (Catholic church) have to plant them early and fertilize them often."
I was thinking, Yes, you (Catholic church) have to bury their heads in superstition before they know better and feed them bullshit so they don't pull their heads out of the ground and wake up to reality.
I don't think I could have heard that and not responded with derision and ridicule.
It was really hard to keep quiet but he was really having a terrible day so I bit my tongue.
@NoMagicCookie Good on ya.
