Possibility
My faith in humanity has been restored by the events in Egypt recently, the principled approach of non-violence and determined optimism/idealism… here’s a great appropriate little quote from Bobby Kennedy:
“Our answer is the world’s hope; it is to rely on youth. The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. It cannot be moved by those who cling to a present which is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger which comes with even the most peaceful progress. This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.”
And another from a friend of a friend:
“This revolution came from the young simply because they hadn’t yet learned, as older generations learned, that change was impossible.”
