So
You heard there is something wrong with the world
You might have seen a lot in your life — but instead of focusing on everything that you’ve seen — you take this HEARSAY — and decide to focus on that
You might have done a lot in your life and you might have actual control over some things — but instead of focusing on all this which you DO control — you take this HEARSAY — and decide to focus on that
You had seen all the injustice and you yourself have lived so imperfectly — but now you take this HEARSAY — and believe that THIS is the problem to focus on:
Whatever it is that you heard is WRONG with the world
And the icing on the cake is:
Your idea of “making a change” is:
-running on the streets,
-talking and expressing your heartfelt condemnation
-writing a few lines on social media
-sharing a link
-maybe putting on some t-shirt
This is your idea of making a change
This is what you believe is more important than all the evil and injustice and ignorance you’ve actually seen, and you’ve actually contributed to
Please explain to me how this is possible
Please explain to me how this is not self-delusion, not distraction, not projection, not denial
