(no subject)
I've been wanting summer for a while now, but I usually don't feel it as much as I just have. My heart dropped a little. I usually don't feel emotions like that. I feel happy sometimes, and sad, but my heart generally doesn't get in on the action. It doesn't do that for people much, too. I've gotten sad about relationship problems or happy and even have claimed love, but I don't really have that ever. Perhaps its because of my over-thinking and also not knowing what I really have until it's gone. Still, it'd be nice to feel like that sometimes so I know that I definitely care about someone because of who he or she is, not because I care about humanity. I hope that I can work on that this summer (trust, I'll have my ways to work on it).
I know few read this, but please do this. If you think it's a waste of time, it doesn't take more than ten seconds. Please. Recently, Senator Dorgan credited Roxana Saberi's release from jail to the pressure of the thousands of letters sent to the Iranian government.
If you still don't believe that taking action reaps results, a few examples I can think of off the top of my head are the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Rights Movement, other actions of the Progressives (i.e. labor laws), the peace movement during the end of the Cold War not only influencing Reagan but many NATO participants to nuclear arms reduction, the American Revolution, the Indian Independence movement led by Ghandi, etc.
If you haven't read A Thousand Splendid Suns, it's a very good work. I cried and there's sadness practically on every page, but I recommend it.
I loved how Laila returned to Kabul because she felt like she couldn't continue her life while others were dealing with tragedy. I liked Hosseini's bit about the UN afterward. I think I need to do something like that.
