The revolution we need right now is one of passionate awareness, curiosity and the drive to gather and use knowledge. Gather and use, not just sit around all day and read and click. There is a need for personal involvement and for leadership on the most basic community level. Even if its unpopular to push your friends, relatives and associates into awareness and action, that cannot stop you. When you look at the world, and at your life, and you consider the future that you want for the next generations -- be they your children and grandchildren or those of your friends or those of distant posterity -- ask yourself if youre ready to give up. And if youre not ready to give up, that means its time to commit. Yes, that means embarking on many steep learning curves and setting out on an uncertain course. There is a need, particularly in American society, to go beyond the superficial, beyond appearances and to give up our precious naivete about how the world works. And that can be painful. Part of what people struggle with, or use as an excuse, is that they care and nobody else seems to. So what can they do alone? That is obviously not true. As the old saying goes, dont mourn, organize. - from todays subscriber edition of Planet Waves
