Reflections: A Book

I'm so tired of talking. Where is the actionable progress?

Notebook post after the unarmed deaths of two black men and the Dallas shooting of a dozen police officers:

"Note: The world has always been violent and ugly. But wh..."

The world has always been violent and ugly. But why in the age of so much technical and social progression do we still feel like we're being left behind? Possibly because our country isn't even 300 years old yet. We're still a baby compared to every other nation. But that's no excuse.

I don't think our problem is lack of 'thinking' but simply lack of 'DOING'. We all think and talk and protest and etc. but few of us show up to the polls when it's time to elect senators and congressmen.

Few of us hold our elected officials responsible for getting laws passed quicker and more efficiently.

Few of us take the time to better our own small communities. A lot of us just sit around and wait for change to happen instead of actively being the change we want to see...or so I believe.

I'm committed to calling a local contact this weekend and helping to get a local chapter of YWCA off the ground, ASAP.
