Those Who Would Not Look Away
1 The first duty of a leader is to see clearly.
2 Many fail not from malice, but from refusal to look.
3 To look is to be changed; to be changed is to be accountable.
4 Leaders who avert their eyes create darkness without intending to.
5 Truth does not shout; it waits for courage.
6 A leader who faces harm names it, even when naming costs them favor.
7 Silence in the presence of injustice is instruction to the cruel.
8 To witness is to accept obligation.
9 Those who look away teach others how to do the same.
10 Those who stand and see become landmarks for the lost.
