Can We Overcome?

Can we overcome the socially induced helplessness that allows for us to remain untouched by suffering? Is it possible for the masses to overcome their dreams of the good life and cast their lot in with the disenfranchised? Or will we continue to remain blind to the writing on the wall. The writing that points to a suffering world and requires a response. The choice is ours we can ignore and shield our eyes to suffering. Or we can abandon any notion that our lives can continue uninterrupted while misery dominates the lives of so many. The measure of our lives is connected to how we choose to answer this question. So let us move beyond comfort and construct a courageous stance. A stance that aligns us with those in the world whose suffering remains muted because we cannot stand to have our fantasies obstructed by real life. So, let us stand! Or be judged by the pen of history as cowards for being passive participants in the proliferation of oppression. Let's Get Free!
