Balancing Act - Issue 7: Section 3
FIND THE COURAGE TO FIGHT
So what is my point? We must fight for our rights (where is Twisted Sister when you need 'em?) and not just hand them over to someone else. Yes, it takes more work to think for ourselves than it does to allow someone else to do the thinking for us and it takes effort to put up a fight. But we must be the force of change if we are ever to see one. There is a song that says, "I'm waiting for the world to change". Although nothing against the writer, when I hear that song I think to myself. Well, then it never will... because change takes effort and the courage to climb out of our comfort zone.
And while I urge you to fight for whatever impassions you, I ask that you please use wisdom.
For instance, I believe in providing a healthy environment for our children (among other things, I recycle, have a chemical free home and only buy organic, locally grown food - for both the health of my family and the earth's)
However, I don't support the environmentalist who sets buildings on fire (who not only destroyed another's property but added to the carbon monoxide in the environment) Hello? And they expect to be taken seriously?
I am also an animal lover and my house has become a rescue home for most strays, but if I had to make the choice to drain a lake in order to save human lives during a forest fire or let them burn alive so the fishies can live... I'd say drain the frikkin lake!
I also believe in the sanctity of life but I could never support an anti-abortionist blowing up an abortion clinic-killing those inside (I thought murder was a sin?)
Let's use our brains as well as our brawn.
It's my hope that even if you don't agree with me on all my points, a passion will be stirred in your heart that if you have a purpose and a fight to fight you will, along with using wisdom, courage and compassion, remember it is only because of our freedom we are allowed to fight at all - so don't give it away.
