[NOTE: I share things like this with a select few of you NOT because I assume YOU don't know it, but rather because it strikes me as something I NEED to keep in the front of mind.]
This is not how I WISH it were. THIS IS HOW IT IS. In an excellent, brief video...
... Naomi makes a key point: AN EFFECTIVE "ACTION" CHANGES PEOPLE - CHANGES THEIR SPIRIT.
Not their minds, although effective "action" WILL do that, but their SPIRIT.
* MLK's words were brilliant, BUT WE LISTENED BECAUSE OF HIS ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT.
* Civil Rights marchers were effective, BECAUSE OF THEIR COURAGEOUS COMMITMENT.
* Sowetto child marchers were successful, BECAUSE OF THEIR TOTAL COMMITMENT.
* Oscar Romero...
* Teresa of Calcutta...
* Diane Wilson...
* St. Thomas of Peace Park...
* Conception of Peace Park...
* Lincoln, FDR, Obama...
* Col. Ann Wright...
* Nancy...
* Nicholas...
* Rick...
* SC
* Liz Horican (the Hurricane!!!!)...
* And so few others....
IF I know anything, personally, it has to do with this because my entire adult life has been based on the need to achieve exactly this, dramatically change people's spirits, because nothing less could achieve the dramatic situation turn-arounds that I needed to cause. It is what I've studied. It is what I've practiced, if with only periodic success.

REAL "change" happens when THE ACTIVIST'S COMMITMENT EXCEEDS 99.99999%.

Spirit is everything. Changing spirit is everything. Changing spirit COSTS EVERYTHING - TOTAL PERSONAL COMMITMENT.
