When the world goes dark, sometimes we have to become lights. We may be dim by ourselves, but enough of us can change things.
We may not be able to fix a dying government, or a world that’s largely forgotten the horrors of war, but we can help today in our community, and locally.
It may not be enough, but it’s something. Maybe those of us aware enough to be frozen in frustration, disappointnent, and even fear by today’s events need this the most. Become a light to someone, some people, or many.
I guess this is a journey of a thousand steps sort of thing, which aims to avoid the death by a thousand cuts.
the world we live in seems unfixably fucked, but our ancestors lived through feudalism and kings for way longer and even made it through the black death without society crumbling to pieces, things even got better afterward!
The united workers of the 1920’s gave us this absolute gem of a verse:
"In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong."
