you cannot resist nature.
and really, it is natural to all living things to instinctually fight for their survival. when the cards are down, we all revert to that blind state.
there has been so much said about the tamil protests in toronto, but i saw some of the photos recently and felt very strongly. i am actually very proud to see humans standing up for something they believe in. i am sure all the information is distorted, and we all know that governments are just legalized forms of terrorist organizations. whoever controls the media controls the mindset?
it brought me to tears to see all of those people marching onto and closing down the gardner, to see the cops standing at the front realizing their weakness when faced with a mass of people who blatantly disagree with what is happening to their own people. does it even matter who the people are? do the innocents (who are many) between the warriors not deserve mercy? what is wrong with people... yes, i believe in their cause because every day hundreds die and i don't care who calls them terrorists, everyone's a fucking terrorist, what is a terrorist but someone with an opinion that differs from those of the majority?
it is sad that traffic problems is what cause this to be 'big news'.
who are we to judge...we work all day, all week at our silly little jobs only to see a huge percentage eaten up by taxes and shit we will most likely never use, we are lied to every day by corporations (gov't, inc.), we are subjected to so much we don't even know about because it is hidden from our view. we hate the governments that are presented to us during the big joke of an election that we hold every so often, yet we say and do nothing. nothing but vote for the cream of the crap and pretend the illusion is real.
complacent = complicit. power in numbers. there are 2.5 million people living in Toronto alone and hundreds of millions across the country. why are we so quick to judge the Tamils when we choose every day to do nothing about the way we are exploited by our own government?
i mean, look at some of these comments:
http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_34563.aspx
i think a lot of people were feeling angry and upset because in some way they have been forced to see their own inactivity. and what is a "good citizen"? one who bends over without being told.
anyway, i'm just as guilty as the rest of us for being lazy, but it really touched me to see the persistence and the community demonstrated... we should all take a lesson from this; we are the many, they are the few.
