Greta Thunberg’s outrage speaks louder than leaders

THE American President has said that Greta Thunberg should take an anger management course. It is just as well that he didn't ask her to take a conscience management course. Her recent mission to take medical and food aid to Gaza on a small ship was an act of conscience. In an interview she gave from the ship, she said it was a symbolic act. She knew it would not succeed, but success was not the point of her effort. It was to express two things: one, solidarity with people who are being killed trying to get food; and two, to say that one can't be a silent spectator when something basic is at stake. What is at stake? There's no need to ask or wonder. It is one's conscience and the empathy it creates, no matter how feebly.
