You see me? Man, don't tell me I forgot to cover my webcam again!

So this is all good and well but what makes you think we need to be cajoled or reassured like a kid. I don't care if I am "seen" or not. I come from a generation that acts and I hope to inspire people to do so instead of waiting for their participation medal (which is in no small way, part of the slow march that precipitated this looming downfall).

Why then should you nourish this kind of weakness?

Act with justice, respect, love and if it fails, proportionate confrontation.

Use intuition, intellect, compassion and values as a compass.

Live an examined life and redress the faults you may have had in the past.

Know that it's ok to be proud but that relying on pride in order to feel useful/right is vain, therefore, be self-less and know yourself.

Because being positive without being first authentic and honest means nothing. In fact, it waters the sentiment down in a very dangerous way.
