This is so cool

A student once asked anthropologist Margaret Mead, “What is the earliest sign of civilization?” The student expected her to say a clay pot, a grinding stone, or maybe a weapon. Margaret Mead thought for a moment, then she said, “A healed femur.” A femur is the longest bone in the body, linking hip to knee. In societies without the benefits of modern medicine, it takes about six weeks of rest for a fractured femur to heal. A healed femur shows that someone cared for the injured person, did their hunting and gathering, stayed with them, and offered physical protection and human companionship until the injury could mend. Mead explained that where the law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—rules, no healed femurs are found. The first sign of civilization is compassion, seen in a healed femur.

Just because something doesn’t directly affect you, doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect someone else. If you are going to support something then it is your responsibility to look at it from all angles, not just from where you sit. Not everyone has the privilege that you might possess. To be a public voice means to also be a voice for those who do not have one. It means to use your interests and passions to create a safe place for everyone, not just everyone like you.

It’s absolutely stunning and making me imagine living out my faerie land dreams.
