Change is incremental and real change, enduring change, occurs one step at a time.
In other words, "speaking truth" as a social movement may move you forward in some ways, but to really lock in and have real enduring change, it takes both a movement on the ground and an independent political party that is itself the defiance of that two-party corporate big-money control of politics.
You've got to learn to accept the law of life, and face the fact that we disintegrate slowly.
I understood at a young age that administrations come and go, but laws stay. So I decided to become a lawyer in order to help create a more just and peaceful world, not just in a fleeting moment but in a way that will endure from one generation to the next.
A genuine transformation that results from sustained concerted effort is long lasting because it has a firm foundation.
I knew that good like bad becomes a routine, that the temporary tends to endure, that what is external permeates to the inside, and that the mask, given time, comes to be the face itself.
It's amazing what you can learn to get used to.
It's the sustained ability to change that really counts.
What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again.
it is either make this thing permanent inside of you or forever just climb draggled up into the conning tower every time for one short glimpse of the horizon.
