I talk truth to power. In the sense, that I try to my best ability, to say how things are, seem from a humanistic/democratic perspective.
I know that some of the things that I am saying are hard facts. Looking the last election in the eyes, and being honest about our faults, is really, really difficult.
The same goes for the EU. It is really, really difficult to see one’s faults in the eyes. Yet progress and a new development requires that one sees his or her own faults in the eyes and change them.
Soul searching is a very, very difficult thing to do.
My point is, when I criticize it is with a positive intention. I try to be honest about where we went wrong, to make it possible for us, to use the difficulties positively and become strengthened by it.
G-d bless the will, to take the hard discussions with ourselves to be wiser and then make a new and better us.
