This quote is from P!nk. These words come in the middle of her acceptance speech for the Peoples Champion award at the People’s Choice Awards in 2019. You can watch her whole acceptance speech on Youtube and you should really go and watch it.

More of her acceptance speech says,
“I grew up in a family of activists … and I know that one person can make a difference. You think that you don’t matter, that your life doesn’t matter, get involved. You can’t tell me Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Nelson Madela, Gloria Steinham, Anita Hill, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Malala Yushafsai, Greta Tunberg, tell me one person can’t make a difference. I am a **** derelict from Doyle’s Town. And I have managed to change a little part in my little world and there is so much to be done. I don’t care about your politics, I care about your kids. I care about decency, humanity, and kindness. Kindness today is an act of rebellion. There are people that don’t have what you have. Help them get it. There is a planet that needs help. It feels good to help. It feels powerful to help. Stop fighting each other and help each other. Get together with your friends and change the **** world.”
Maybe, if we stopped fighting each other and helped each other we would be on our way to peace.
Good word, P!nk
Let’s pray:
May we stop fighting each other and find a way to help each other instead.
May we get together with our friends and change the world.
Amen!
