RE: What do you believe in? Would you do something wrong for the right reason?
This question is often something I find myself asking. I have only recently started to wake up and become less apathetic about the world around me, and it's been frustrating feeling like there is nothing I can do to change anything. I've been to a few protests, but nothing that would have repercussions.
Sometimes I think that means I'm not doing enough. Other times I think its ok, that I'm doing at least doing something. But really, I don't feel any more effective than slacktivists shouting their opinions into the void on Twitter. Maybe it's the willingness to sacrifice that leads to real change.
The same goes for me as well. I'm not an active protester for several reason. For me the limited income i do have could possibly be greatly affected if something was to happen to my job because of me being in the wrong place/ wrong time.
I'm not certain when true changes happens. I'm not certain if its struggle or sacrifice that brings out true change that we need I am certian though we need to change our mentality and teach our next generations to think for themselves. To strive to learn and to do better than we did before them.
