How committed to changing the world are you? Are you? Am I?
I have seen a lot of posts expressing outrage over one thing or another via social media lately, and it’s nothing new, people have been doing it for years now. But how many of these people do anything more than share, re-share, and comment?
I have been posting my fair share of dissenting opinions, I’ve commented plenty, and I’ve re-shared many dissenting opinions with which I agree. But what else have I done?
Nothing.
Nothing except try to make people aware of what’s happening, but I have yet to make anything happen with my own actions, and that needs to change.
That needs to change.
There is so much more that needs to be done, so much more than one can do with armchair activism, that I can no longer rely solely on dissemination of information as a way to participate in effecting change.
We all know the world is on fire, it is burning around us, and yet all many of us seem to do is talk about a need for buckets and hoses. How many of us are running to fill buckets or charge hoses? How many of us are trying to put out the fire?
