Anger and Adoration

Mittwoch, 6. August 2008

The human being is an individual. Alone he comes into the world and alone he dies. He cannot live alone, that´s clear, he comes into a world where many other people already are and had to cope and arrange with. But this doesn´t mean, only to integrate and adapt silently.

Very often we forget, what power and influence exspecially the individual has or could have, if oly he would realize and behave like this. Often it seems as if the social surrounding demands to fit in the actual conditions unquestioningly for example for to keep the job, to be respected and accepted, but often for the price to deny individual abilities and talents or even worse to give up individual thinking and deciding.

Is it sluggishness, that many people let behave like the majority? Is it laziness, because we do not want to think on our own or are afraid of the inconvinient way to say our oppinion and support it? Is it thougthlessness just to behave like before, because we know it, do not want to change, are afraid of something new and unknown and because it works up to now?

Often we excuse ourselfes by referring that it is useless, when I myself behave correctly or change my habits or try something new and all the others behave as before. What use has a single drop of clear water in a cesspool? An unarmed in a gang of robbers? A single pedestrian in a line of cars?

Maybe at the beginning really nothing, but think of SOS children´s village, the Red Cross, Men for Men, started from individuals and now accepted examples for humanity, reciprocal help and sense of responsibility, examples which show that it could work different. If I decide to wish for me a better world and do what I can to make it true, I make my contribution to it, a little step, an important step, independant how long the way there will be.

I don´t want to blame myself, that I did nothing, only because I was afraid of being no longer part of the majority and standing for my convictions.

I don´t want to blame myself, that I recovered resigned, just because the situation seems so hopeless and my contribution so terribly small.

I don´t want to blame myself, that contrary to my convictions I kept silence and didn´t move, just because it seems too tiring and senseless to defend my point of view and work for it.

Do your part and go

So I go, I dont´look back and don´t wait for the others, which still hesitate or havn´t the courage or couldn´t be decided. I can only convince when I myself go, independent of the fact if someone follows or not. And I garanty, with it I will convience. And when I only cause that one individual starts thinking, it will progress.
