Revolt.
For the past few months I feel like I was granted the power to see the different ways my life can be, with the major split being between my dreams and vision for the future vs giving it all up for the small amount of peace that I'm granted with just the people I love. But for now, what I've decided is that the peace that I'm granted by pushing my visions and ideas aside is nothing compared to the urgency and sense of fulfillment of my plans.
But that doesn't mean there can't be balance, it just means that I will have to sacrifice the relationships I could have with so many 'normal' people against those who are the exceptional, the ones who will stand against, the ones who will always move forward, and for now all of my friends fit that definition.
To ALL:
This is OUR time. Those who were entrusted with the power to help us have failed, and will continue to fail unless we become a force to be reckoned with. All of you who are not deeply interested in politics, you must make a choice now to know what you believe and who advocates your beliefs. We are no longer Republicans, they have failed us. We are no longer Democrats, they have failed us.
The only way to bring ourselves to bear on the mistakes and disasters of our parents' generation is to take back our government with all the strength and fury of a revolution. Be it conservative or liberal, politicians can no longer be allowed to act as politicians. The stakes are now too high to allow compromise and negotiation. True conservatives have a radical view for the future. True liberals have a radical view for the future. The way to prevent the mistakes of the past is a robust debate between these polar opposite worldviews. Draw the lines, set your sights on the goal.
Ready.
