Just a Note
This is just a note to let you know I have not given up on writing. There are times when life just seems to get in the way of what we want to do. Other times it is just the opposite.
As we all know, or should know, we have to take responsibility for our actions. Doing nothing is an action in the form of inaction. Standing by, letting life go on its merry way is inaction. Saying or doing nothing when we see injustice is inaction.
Activism is not always extremism, but it can be. Activism can be positive, yet extremism is most often a detriment. We can see this in our everyday lives and throughout history. When inaction of one meets extremism of another, the extremists will win every time.
We as a people, ALL PEOPLE, need to become activists! We must fight the doldrums of inaction and the excesses of the extremist. The world is a volatile place and getting more so every day.
When we see injustice or extremism taking place, take action to stop it. I am not proposing violence. Action comes in many forms and this is one. If we sit idle while purveyors of an extreme view take action, only destruction will prevail.
They say “Action speaks louder than words” yet many times words are all we need. The pen can be more powerful than the sword.
There is no need to seek out injustice, it is there staring you in the face every day. Look deeply in the mirror and see if you are part of the problem or the solution. What you see may surprise you.
We all can be super heroes and enforce “Truth and justice”. I hope to see you at the league of human beings.
