#shouldertoshoulder
blurb
Cuilin
Oliver Twist | Charles Dickens

I‘m enjoying this reading, but Charles was this absolutely necessary? One must remember how much of the world despised the Irish at one time and make sure as a people we must always stand on the side of the oppressed. 🇮🇪 #shouldertoshoulder

Butterfinger I like that tag. That is powerful. 4y
Cuilin @Milara that was my point! Absolutely we should be more concerned, I was highlighting this to say that “those who don‘t know history are destined to repeat it” I would hate to see Irish people being xenophobic without having a clue to their own history. I‘ll still read Dickens it was a good line to set me thinking about all this. I don‘t regard that as wasted energy if it motivates one to think. 4y
Cuilin @Milara yes. I like that. We cannot hold the past to our standards and we should learn from their mistakes. As Maya Angelou said “when you know better, do better” That‘s all we can do. Read, learn, improve, repeat. 4y
