Deviation Actions
Literature Text
Every person you meet has so much more depth than you perceive.
You see it as it is, to you.
You could be so much with every person you come across.
Yet, you choose who is who, what is what, and where is where.
You make your life, according to your decisions.
We have to unite, not compete.
Their beauty does not detract from your own.
You are them. We are one.
The media spotlights differences in a sea of similarities.
We’re focused on the violence.
Too crazy to see the peace calming its way through the storm of repression.
Too distracted to understand what we’re fighting for –– are already rights. We’re just trying to align them into law.
We are free individuals treated like sheep.
Do we elect our shepherd? And if so, is it because we trust him to lead us, or because it is easier to follow?
If we don’t take action, are we not on the side of the oppressor?
Isn’t silence the talk of cowards?
It is important to speak, because silent ideas are dead dreams.
Say what you mean, while it means what you say.
What you think is futile, if what you do is only think.

It reads a bit like a rant, maybe a narrative would help.
Note: Silence is the language of caution and not cowardice, though cowards do use it sometimes.
