Jamie Lee Curtis recently shared her thoughts on the complexities of modern society during an interview with People. She highlighted the challenges of navigating a world characterized by binary thinking, where individuals are often judged for holding contradictory beliefs.
In her remarks, Curtis referenced her previous comments about Kirk, a conservative activist who was tragically killed in September. She expressed her disagreement with his public views, stating, “I disagreed with him on almost every point he expressed publicly, but that doesn”t mean I can”t recognize his humanity.”
According to Curtis, the current societal landscape forces people to choose sides, leaving little room for nuanced perspectives. “You are either on one side or the other. You cannot hold two ideas at the same time,” she noted, emphasizing the pressure individuals face, where even a single word can be misconstrued.
She lamented that had she been more cautious, she might not have shared her thoughts at all. Ultimately, Curtis advocated for the need to acknowledge compassion, even amidst disagreement, saying, “It is about recognizing that, even in disagreement, there is space for compassion.”
