Remember:
Never has a quote been so important as this one is when combined with our times. We are up against a whole slew of wrongs that are being perpetuated by those who are gaming the system. I’ve always wondered how others view the world, but maybe it’s more important to understand what those with different views intend to do with the world. I’ve seen a lot of courageous examples of ordinary people doing extraordinary acts of selflessness in the face of a system that is looking more and more inconsequential on a daily basis.
- When words have more meaning than spirit (e.g. a law), then we have a BIG problem.
- When a person who unearths harm done to another person ends up going to jail longer than the ones who actually inflicted the harm, then we have a BIG problem.
- When people who shine a light on wrong-doing are hunted relentlessly by jackals of propriety, then we have a BIG problem.
- When people are judged by their looks, instead of by who they are, then we have a BIG problem.
- When too few have too much more than the too many, then we have a BIG problem.
- When the innocent are looked upon as the guilty, then we have a BIG problem.
- When too many care about too few, then we have a BIG problem.
- But mostly, when too many choose to ignore or accept the bad and goes with it, because nothing will ever change, then we have the BIGGEST problem of all.
Exactly, what is it going to take for people to start doing things differently? When will those who actually want change expect to see that change happening, instead of festering in frustration because of an overabundance of apathy? To anyone who says that what’s the big deal, when people get upset at an injustice, then I and many like me say: The BIG deal is that it’s allowed to happen in the first place. We need to start questioning anything that is causing more harm than good. Nothing is meant to stay the same way forever. Especially a colossal failure of a system that nobody wants in the first place. Who cares if we have to rebuild. We need to rebuild because it’s the only way out of a situation in perpetual repetition of wrong.
Don’t go with the wrong, just because it’s all you know. That’s just taking the easy way out. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy to accomplish. THAT’s what make it worthwhile!
