To know how to respond resides in science, sentience and silence.
Silence — it’s a loud, noisy and cacophonous response.
To be heard, listen; to influence, be influenced.
The most powerful responses empower.
A response is a stimulus — arguments, fights, wars, love.
Even the elephants know that sometimes the only proper response is to grieve.
Love isn’t at its best as a response; it is at its best as a provenience, an antecedent and a previousness.
Injustice can only be corrected by justice.
If you don’t know how to respond, claim confusion; if that fails try humor.
