The easy route is to stay in your lane with your head down and avoid the hellfire that is licking at everyone’s heels, but your voice and power are needed.
While wars are erupting and climate change is shifting the trajectory of mankind, it is easier to hide what you actually stand for and continue posting about sports teams, celebrities, television shows, or purchasing endless products. But who does that help? Does it help you to avoid who and what you are and what you feel is important deep down?
Fear is in your ear. It does greater harm to give into that fear. There are people that can benefit from your perspective. Not just those who can learn from your perspective, but it empowers oppressors when we remain silent and inactive. Oppressors benefit from our silence and our fear. This is why they threaten and attempt to limit our speech and our reach so that the truth cannot be heard and shared.
Oppressors cannot take down everyone when the majority uses their voice. Hiding behind the comfortable and surface level distractions are what the oppressors want from the public. They want us to tire of the boycotts and posting about genocide and global warming. Use your voice to fight for those who have lost theirs. Don’t sell your morals for a show that only cares that you watch it. Don’t sell your morals for a sports team that would not miss your presence. Don’t sell your morals when they are integral to who you are, that unique fire within. Don’t extinguish it for consumerism and capitalism and give into silence and inaction.
Is it scary to lend your voice? No, it’s freeing. It’s you aligning with that deep internal spark and setting it ablaze. When you free your voice and do it for others, for the betterment of our world, you’re supporting humanity and spreading love in the most powerful way we can. You’re empowering yourself and hearing what is buried within that should be set free.
Don’t give into the fear or rhetoric of threats. Be free. Share from your heart.
Give up the distractions because they only serve those making money off of you. To them, we are nothing more than a promoter for consumerism and capitalism when we only embody the distractions, which is what the ruling class and those in power want. You are more than a credit card, a viewer, a consumer.
Share who you are. Now is that time because this world needs you. There are people who are suffering that need you.
I have this feeling that things are not as shiny as they used to be, and a lot of these people stuck in their comfort zones are just deluding themselves and the world around them that they find that comfort zone adequate. It’s not as comforting because this world is struggling and there is no escaping this truth, not even all the comforts can hide the suffering anymore.
Find what speaks to you and share it with the world. Speak out for people facing atrocities, the environment,or a change to the political structure. There’s so much more you can share. How do you think things should change? How can you help? You have ideas. The world needs your ideas and your input. The world needs your unity so we can actually change these things and effectively make a difference together.
It’s okay to be scared starting out, but know that this world will have your back when you raise your voice to fight for humanity and our planet.
Find an organization, share your thoughts on social media, spread educational information, speak with your family and friends, and share what your heart beats daily for.
From the river to the sea, may the whole world be free.
