Empire Strikes Black
July 5, 2012
There are two kinds of people in this world.
The
first seeks knowledge,
while
the second seeks gratification.
The
first trembles with anger when injustice is done to others;
the
second is numb and unconcerned.
The
first recognizes their duty to speak out,
while
the second dismisses injustice as being out of their hands or simply ‘the way
it is’.
The
first is loyal and loving to their human & non-human brothers and sisters,
while
the second is loyal to their nation.
The
first rejects dogma and thinks independently;
the
second blindly respects authority and bitterly ridicules free thinkers.
The
first is humble, always knowing that they could be wrong;
the
second rigidly adheres to beliefs which ossify with time.
The
first removes themselves from contributing to the system of oppression in any
and all ways;
the second does nothing because they are comfortable.
Which one are you?
