To die, Truly to Live

There comes points when the things we have to fight for or at least stand in objection on their behalf become pointed and concise. I probably will not say all that has been on my mind on such matters for the last while except that some of these causes have come to a starker battleline in my mind.
I have begun to lose confidence in instititions that I once took as acceptable in the imperfection that institution have to a biased individual. In true Canadian form I figured we have it pretty good and I can leave things mostly up to the government to decide. However, I say it to say that that bell inside me has gone off. This is the bell that just knows that something is not right. Something can not be tolerated. There is injustice and it must be stood against.

What is a truly Christ-like approach to injustice? That is one very loaded question.
But it is a sort of beautiful thing to believe that you are fighting for righteousness.

Once, I heard someone say you couldn't define something by what it isn't. But I guess opposites might not count. Nevermind. I wanted to comment, so I tried to think of something to say, and that was it, and now it's gone. I'm embarrassed and probably should stop this ludicrousness now.

But first, I agree with you. There is so much work to do. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few, or something like that. Let's stop discussing and start acting.

How? Well, we should talk later. I'm off compy. :P for a good while at least.
