Wake Up

We need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Democracy only works when citizens ACTUALLY PARTAKE in their government. We have fallen to a movement of quietism and let the leaders in charge make all the decisions that AFFECT US. We have to be conscious of what is being done and speak out so that the right things are focused on.

WAKE UP!!!

Perhaps there are times, when Quietism is best. The Hellinistic philosophers of Stoics, Epicureans and Skeptics realized that during a time of tyranny it was best to retire from political life and focus on personal virtue. It was these philosophies that dominated the late Roman Empire.

You say don't know what to do?

Ok... But what do you THINK should be done? What do you exactly think should happen for things to change for the better?

First you must have hope, only then you can create solutions. If you already have hope, think about the above questions. If you don't then work on it. Google:

Like all social phenomena, hope can go very wrong. But regardless of outcomes, hope we must. It remains the human beacon of engagement with the task of mapping our destinies.

What shall I do? I'm awake,but shit has gotten SO big i don't know what to do! I don't trust movements; they get infultrated and degraded. So many of my peers can't look beyond the fallacy of global warming or some such thing. I'm lost. Lost and i don't know what to do next beyond have half-assed conversations with my friends over beers. this much i know:Fall in love with the word "NO"We don't have much else at this junction in history

We must learn what it means to be truely FREE human beings
