Reflection
Community
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.
— Audre Lorde
अपनी देखभाल करना आत्म-भोग नहीं है, यह आत्म-संरक्षण है, और यह राजनीतिक युद्ध का एक कार्य है।
— ऑड्रे लॉर्डे

Why this matters:
This redefines self-care within the context of community and activism. We cannot serve effectively if we are depleted. To stay whole in a system that tries to break us is a service to the movement itself.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
यह समुदाय और सक्रियता के संदर्भ में आत्म-देखभाल को फिर से परिभाषित करता है। यदि हम क्षीण हो गए हैं तो हम प्रभावी ढंग से सेवा नहीं कर सकते। हमें तोड़ने की कोशिश करने वाली प्रणाली में खुद को पूर्ण रखना आंदोलन के लिए ही एक सेवा है।
