Revolution

Constance and I were talking about Wikileaks earlier. I was really pent up about it, talking about how we need to get really animated and have a freakin' revolution because of all the horrible things that are happening that we're not doing anything about. For a moment I was kind of mad at her because she was sort of shrugging the whole thing off. This is what she said (which is up on Facebook): 

‎"There's a difference between being calm and not doing anything. In some cases it's better to be calm when trying to convince someone of your opinion, because it's easier to make rational points. People can have calm revolutions. That's sort of the point of nonviolence; you can be passionate without being...overly forceful. Being animated is important, but it's better to be inwardly animated in some situations."

I couldn't agree with this more.  If everyone is calm and collected, they can think things through before making any life-changing actions. And I'm pretty sure there's going to be some kind of revolution- ask any astrologist. Every certain period of years, the stars and planets line up in certain ways that make things happen. It starts with some kind of corrupted government, or more, and ends with revolution and a hunger for new ways of thinking. It's sort of like evolution. Right now the stars are making their patterns and charging up the air and making so many people sit on the edges of their seats. I feel, personally, that some kind of revolution is right around the corner.

I just hope that society will be able to think rationally when the time comes.
