At a forum organized by the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) in Germany, Peterson asked how a free country could fall into the grip of a totalitarian nightmare. His answer is “because every person living in this country has chosen to be silent when asked to say what needs to be said.”
“If you keep your mouth shut when you’re asked to tell the truth, you’re not only putting the ship of state at risk. You’re condemning yourself and everyone you love to the darkest place imaginable,” says the Canadian psychology professor, who rose to prominence after becoming embroiled in the culture wars, particularly her opposition to political correctness on college campuses.
He states: “You must understand that there is no difference between a totalitarian state and a state where everyone is always lying about everything, whether by telling lies or hiding the truth.”
Peterson points out that “good people have a mandate from their conscience.” This mandate is to speak from the spiritual source of their hearts.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
