“Dear Political Activists,
All your chanting, marching, voting, picketing, boycotting and
letter-writing will not change a thing; you will never right the wrongs
of this world. The only thing your activity will accomplish is to make
some of you feel better. Such activity makes powerless people feel
useful, and provides them the illusion that they’re making a difference.
But it doesn’t work. Nothing changes. The powerful keep the power.
That’s why they’re called the powerful.
This is similar to people’s belief that love can overcome
everything, that it has some special power. It doesn’t. Except one on
one. One on one, love is incredibly powerful. It is a beautiful thing.
But if love had any power to change the world, it would have prevailed
by now. Love can’t change the world. It’s nice. It’s pleasant. It’s
better than hate. But it has no special power over things. It just feels
good. Love yourself, find another person to love and feel good.
Love, George” ~ When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? (2004)
About Me
- Mirai
- I'm a science nerd, writer, and anthropology major who used to teach biology and AP biology to high school kids. Now I design science curriculum for an independent study school from grades 3-high school. I love to write and have been doing so in some form since I was six. A while ago, I picked back up my Pokemon series with plans on editing/rewriting it and posting it online now that I am twenty-three years older and a much better (I think) writer. Then I also picked up my original fiction, so I go back and fourth. If you're nice to me, I might share if you want to read them. I also enjoy video games (Zelda!), taking pictures, walks and hiking, electronic music, following politics to be an informed citizen, cats, and learning. I worked in a grocery store for almost ten years and enjoyed it most of the time though I find my career now much more rewarding. I have an unapologetic obsession with Pokemon. I like blue.
