A lot of things are unspeakable until suddenly they’re not.

Right up front. This is our problem. We’re so concerned about how “the message will test,” or whether it will give the other side (whoever that is) ammunition, that we’ve become afraid to face the truth head on.

If we’re to recover from this spiral that we’re stuck in, we have to address this.
