When I found out that the Time’s Person of the Year for 2011 was the protester, I was ecstatic. No, I am not an anarchist, though I’m far from pleased with the way society runs right now. But, when Time listened to the people and choose the people’s champion, it gives us all a cause to reflect. Just maybe, there is some hope for change. God knows that we need it with all that’s happening. This has been a horrific week in the US, though it hasn’t been much better in other parts of the world. But we are all reaching out to one another in hope that strength grows with numbers. Universal thought is no longer as superficial as it once was. A large number are awakening and demanding that change happens.
When a small town in China can stand up to their oppressive leaders, then you know that times are changing. When people protest during a democratic vote in Russia and force the leaders to explain themselves, you know that something wonderful is occurring. When the whole world stands up and shouts, then you know that thing’s might just be turning around. Is 2011 the beginnings of our rebirth? |
