from the mind of critic-5/2/17

From the mind of critic: “If we take our rights for granted, because the battles that spawned them took place long before we could possibly have taken part, do we not comprehend peiople fighting for their rights? Do we paint them out as complainers, even though they are simply standing up for what they believe in, like our forefathers did which our subconscious uses as an excuse to not fight back now? Or have we not needed to stand up because our social, poltical, religious or financial status was locked in by generations of pawning off responsibilities and defense to others, completely removing the human aspect? Are we so sucked into surviving our own narcissism, that until something truly threatens the lives of us or our family, we won’t lift a finger to help anybody outside our bubble? We aren’t okay with somebody taking our rights away and turning us into some third world dictatorship, where our 30 year ruler has instituted bread lines and daily blackouts, because the nations coffers have been sucked dry. If we’re not okay with that, why are we okay with somebody else having their rights discarded, creating a third world situation they are forced to live in. We all come from the same basic place, none of us succeed until we all succeed, we all do better, when we all do better, however we slice it, we all have to live on this planet together. Once we realize that all wars have been fought by the poor to benefit the rich, that all of us are immigrants, and that none of us are an island, we’ll see we’ve all had to fight for our rights at some point. Just because we had things very hard, doesn’t mean somebody else should be forced to have things just as hard. But when they are, we must’nt get on their case for doing the same exact thing we did. The second we take our rights for granted, is the second they dissappear. If we don’t fight to get them back, they will be permanently gone. Do we practice what we preach, or do we preach what we practice?” 🙂
