Quote:The house is on fire, and we are discussing the placement of the coach.
It puzzles me that we can be so aware of the ills of the society that we live in, yet not even attempt to correct them.
Even worse that we will ostracize those that dare speak against those ills, reject them when they point out that the ermine stole the king has convinced the masses he is wearing is wishful thinking, and that the king is naked.
Our greatest enemy and weaknesses, is that we lack conviction and we believe we are weak and helpless. We seal our fate by expecting and waiting to be rescued.
I fully understand that this is a normal human response, and that I am the odd woman, out. I have been called odd, recalcitrant, rabble rouser, stupid, troublemaker, and a whole list of other words, my entire life. I will admit that even at this old age, I am not going to be the one the keeps quiet if I am faced with something that I believe to be wrong, and I will stand against it.
My only solace is that dead is dead, whether you go out on your feet or on your knees.
