Volume Up

If I turn the volume up on a speaker system. Then I walk away to talk to other people. Then a bus of old people drive by and the most vulgar words fly out of the speaker to my dismay (shortest path is valuable and I am too far from the speaker system) – does not equate to I desired the event to happen, does not equate to I am not partially responsible.

We turn things up in society and we allow things to happen that is not always our desire. I invest in tax dollars, that pays for many of the systems that we have in place. If the system is oppressing people, and it does in likely many different ways that are hard to fully grasp that does not mean I desire to invest in oppression, wouldn’t turn it down if I could, have sufficient access or knowledge to know how to volume down the oppression.

We turn things up without always meaning to, does not equate to they do not get turned up at times, there is no reason to turn them down.
