sanity and humility in activist life!

ban something or other, protest against something or other, sign a petition to stop something, stand in solidarity for someone or some group, attend meetings to show protest, sit for a fast for a few days/hours, make a contribution to save some one or something...as the voices of human conscience grows against what is perpetrated as common human aspiration by a few, a new form of aspiration is being articulated, if the language is negative today, it is so because it is still weak, couched as it remains in the reactionary idiom of a generation that only saw changes made through violent, centrally driven, power mongering methods. by and by this will make way to a newer language of positive energy, powerful articulation, constructive work, celebration of diversity, perpetuation of peace...the language will be the revival of the original human aspiration of co-existence. we ought to find that in the crowd of the prevailing negatives to retain our sanity and humility.
